Glycated hemoglobin levels

C6orf183 · rs11964178

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 88,355 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0096 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0065-0.0127); p = 6 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — in an intron of CCDC162P.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glycated hemoglobin levels compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glycated hemoglobin levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glycated hemoglobin levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11964178

What is rs11964178?

rs11964178 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C6orf183 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 rs11964178 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 rs11964178 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 rs11964178 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Med 2017, PMID:28898252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
