Fasting glucose

CAST · rs1820176

What the study found

Who was studied 200,622 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0247 higher; p = 2 × 10−34.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q15 — in an intron of CAST.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Fasting glucose. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Fasting glucose. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs1820176

What is rs1820176?

rs1820176 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CAST 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 rs1820176 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 rs1820176 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34059833. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
