What the study found

Who was studied 36,614 Japanese ancestry cases, 155,150 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — a synonymous change in ASCL2.

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/G One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs116549635

What is rs116549635?

rs116549635 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INS-IGF2 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 rs116549635 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 rs116549635 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 rs116549635 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30718926. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
