What the study found

Who was studied 50,251 African American cases, 103,909 African American controls, 88,109 East Asian ancestry cases, 339,395 East Asian ancestry controls, 242,283 European ancestry cases, 1,569,734 European ancestry controls, 29,375 Hispanic cases, 59,368 Hispanic controls, 1,602 South African ancestry cases, 976 South African ancestry controls, 16,832 South Asian ancestry cases, 33,767 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.1 — in an intron of NELL1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16907058

What is rs16907058?

rs16907058 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NELL1 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs16907058 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 rs16907058 affect how medicines work?

NELL1 carries pharmacogenomic findings for Hydrochlorothiazide. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs16907058 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 rs16907058 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38374256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
