Glycated hemoglobin levels

FIG4 · rs12529570

What the study found

Who was studied 327,177 European ancestry individuals, 4,847 African ancestry individuals, 6,895 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0195 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.025); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — in an intron of FIG4.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/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 rs12529570

What is rs12529570?

rs12529570 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FIG4 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.

Does having rs12529570 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 rs12529570 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
