What the study found

Who was studied 17,290 East Asian ancestry individuals, 1,727 Malay ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 13,585 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.06 higher (95% confidence interval 0.040-0.080); p = 9 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.11 — in an intron of MYO9B.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11667918

What is rs11667918?

rs11667918 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYO9B 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.

What conditions is rs11667918 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 rs11667918 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 rs11667918 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2014, PMID:24647736. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
