Corrected insulin response

ANK1 · rs12549902

What the study found

Who was studied up to 4,961 European individuals, up to 411 Old Order Amish (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 20,722 European individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.06 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.08); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.21 — between genes, 0.9 kb from NKX6-3.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Corrected insulin response compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Corrected insulin response.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Corrected insulin response — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs12549902

What is rs12549902?

rs12549902 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANK1 gene. Published research associates it with corrected insulin response. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12549902 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 rs12549902 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2014, PMID:24699409. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
