Fasting glucose

LMO1 · rs2168101

What the study found

Who was studied 200,622 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0125 higher; p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.4 — in an intron of LMO1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; protective for LMO1 POLYMORPHISM, Neuroblastoma, susceptibility to, 7; no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2025-01-07. ClinVar record 221554 NM_002315.3(LMO1):c.26-3357G>T

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 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

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Fasting glucose compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Fasting glucose.
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Fasting glucose — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2168101

What is rs2168101?

rs2168101 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LMO1 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 rs2168101 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 rs2168101 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.
