FOXN2 · rs12621844

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 88,355 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0099 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0064-0.0134); p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.3 — between genes, 22.2 kb from LOC105374593.

What each result means

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

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

T/T 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.

Questions about rs12621844

What is rs12621844?

rs12621844 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOXN2 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 rs12621844 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 rs12621844 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 rs12621844 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.
