What the study found

Who was studied 12,171 European ancestry cases, 56,862 European ancestry controls, 6,952 East Asian ancestry cases, 11,865 East Asian ancestry controls, 5,561 South Asian ancestry cases, 14,458 South Asian ancestry controls, 1,804 Mexican ancestry cases, 779 Mexican ancestry controls; replicated in 21,491 European ancestry cases, 55,647 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.21 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.13-1.31); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q21.31 — between genes, 81.8 kb from LOC124902186.

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 rs17791513

What is rs17791513?

rs17791513 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TLE4 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 rs17791513 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 having rs17791513 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 rs17791513 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2014, PMID:24509480. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
