What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.042 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.054); p = 8 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.2 — in an intron of SLC2A2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-06-23. ClinVar record 1183692 NM_000340.2(SLC2A2):c.775+68T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 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 Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglycerides in large LDL. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides in large LDL. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Triglycerides in large LDL. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2292622

What is rs2292622?

rs2292622 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC2A2 gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides in large ldl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does rs2292622 affect how medicines work?

SLC2A2 carries pharmacogenomic findings for Metformin. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.

Does having rs2292622 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 rs2292622 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
