Hemoglobin A1c levels

HBA1 · rs148228241

What the study found

Who was studied up to 7,526 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.114 lower; p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in an intron of HBA1.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs148228241

What is rs148228241?

rs148228241 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HBA1 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin a1c levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs148228241 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 rs148228241 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell 2019, PMID:31675503. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
