Sensitive

Type 2 diabetes

KAT8 · rs1978487

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−7, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 50,251 African American cases, 103,909 African American controls, 88,109 East Asian ancestry cases, 339,395 East Asian ancestry controls, 242,283 European ancestry cases, 1,569,734 European ancestry controls, 29,375 Hispanic cases, 59,368 Hispanic controls, 1,602 South African ancestry cases, 976 South African ancestry controls, 16,832 South Asian ancestry cases, 33,767 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p11.2 — in an intron of KAT8.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.
