Glycated hemoglobin levels

near KRT18P51 · rs17712401

What the study found

Who was studied 327,177 European ancestry individuals, 4,847 African ancestry individuals, 6,895 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0426 lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.054); p = 6 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.21 — between genes, 73 kb from KRT18P51.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. 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 Glycated hemoglobin levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17712401

What is rs17712401?

rs17712401 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KRT18P51 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.

Does having rs17712401 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 rs17712401 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.
