Glycated hemoglobin levels

DDA1 · rs1079098

What the study found

Who was studied 327,177 European ancestry individuals, 4,847 African ancestry individuals, 6,895 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0315 higher (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.042); p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.11 — in the 3′ untranslated region of DDA1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1079098

What is rs1079098?

rs1079098 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DDA1 gene. Published research associates it with glycated hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1079098 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 rs1079098 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
