ELP1 · rs17853166

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 10,177 African American individuals, 651 East Asian ancestry individuals, 113,279 European ancestry individuals, 3,153 Hispanic individuals, 2,405 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.037 lower (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.049); p = 5 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.3 — a missense change in ELP1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Familial dysautonomia; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 11 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-04. ClinVar record 137569 NM_003640.5(ELP1):c.751A>G (p.Ser251Gly)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Fasting glucose. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Fasting glucose. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Fasting glucose. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17853166

What is rs17853166?

rs17853166 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELP1 gene. Published research associates it with fasting glucose. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17853166 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 rs17853166 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Wellcome open research 2023, PMID:39280063. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
