Corrected insulin response

HHEX · rs11187144

What the study found

Who was studied up to 4,961 European individuals, up to 411 Old Order Amish (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 20,722 European individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.12 lower (95% confidence interval 0.079-0.161); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q23.33 — between genes, 0.3 kb from Y_RNA.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Corrected insulin response — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Corrected insulin response.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Corrected insulin response compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11187144

What is rs11187144?

rs11187144 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HHEX gene. Published research associates it with corrected insulin response. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11187144 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 rs11187144 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2014, PMID:24699409. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
