GCK · rs10259649

What the study found

Who was studied 2,267 Qatari ancestry cases, 8,665 Qatari ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.24 times the odds of Prediabetes (95% confidence interval 1.14-1.34); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p13 — in an intron of GCK.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Prediabetes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Prediabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Prediabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10259649

What is rs10259649?

rs10259649 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GCK gene. Published research associates it with prediabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10259649 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs10259649 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes, obesity & metabolism 2025, PMID:40468860. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
