GNG8 · rs115034159

What the study found

Who was studied 896 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.185 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.24); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — in a regulatory region of GNG8.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs115034159

What is rs115034159?

rs115034159 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GNG8 gene. Published research associates it with abdominal fat cell number. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs115034159 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 rs115034159 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2022, PMID:35320353. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
