Who was studied Up to 2,916 European ancestry Type 1 Diabetes cases with nephropathy, 3,315 European ancestry Type 1 Diabetes cases without nephropathy; replicated in Up to 1,493 European ancestry Type 1 Diabetes cases with nephropathy, 3,191 European ancestry Type 1 Diabetes cases without nephropathy.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele carried 1.80 times the odds of Type 1 diabetes nephropathy (95% confidence interval 1.48-2.17); p = 2 × 10−9.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

What each result means
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes nephropathy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes nephropathy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes nephropathy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs12437854
What is rs12437854?
rs12437854 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MCTP2 gene. Published research associates it with type 1 diabetes nephropathy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs12437854 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 1 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs12437854?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (2 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs12437854 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 rs12437854 come from?
GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2012, PMID:23028342. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
