What the study found

Who was studied 313,125 European ancestry individuals, 5,568 African ancestry individuals, 6,693 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.25 lower (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.3); p = 4 × 10−25.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q31.1 — a missense change in G6PC2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Blood glucose levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Blood glucose levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood glucose levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs138726309

What is rs138726309?

rs138726309 is a single position in the genome, in or near the G6PC2 gene. Published research associates it with blood glucose 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 rs138726309 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Gout. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs138726309 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 rs138726309 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.
