What the study found

Who was studied 148,726 European ancestry cases, 24,646 African American cases, 8,616 Hispanic cases, 46,511 Asian ancestry cases, 965,732 European ancestry controls, 31,446 African American controls, 11,829 Hispanic controls, 169,776 Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0325 lower (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.042); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.3 — between genes, 12.6 kb from STK31.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2188848

What is rs2188848?

rs2188848 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near STK31 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2188848 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 2 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2188848 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 rs2188848 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32541925. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
