GCK · rs1799884

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glycated hemoglobin levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2010, PMID:20858683)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glycated hemoglobin levels. (GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2010, PMID:20858683)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glycated hemoglobin levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2010, PMID:20858683)

Questions about rs1799884

What is rs1799884?

rs1799884 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GCK 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 rs1799884 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 rs1799884 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2010, PMID:20858683. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
