Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 74,124 European ancestry cases, 824,006 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07); p = 6 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p11.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of HSD17B12.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1061810

What is rs1061810?

rs1061810 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HSD17B12 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1061810 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 2 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1061810 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 rs1061810 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30297969. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
