LINC02763 · rs140488904

What the study found

Who was studied 2,061 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals; replicated in 6,437 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.959 lower (95% confidence interval 0.66-1.26); p = 6 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.1 — in an intron of LINC02763.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs140488904

What is rs140488904?

rs140488904 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02763 gene. Published research associates it with insulin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs140488904 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 rs140488904 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2021, PMID:34620218. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
