Hemoglobin A1c levels

USP4 · rs2304442

What the study found

Who was studied 344,182 European ancestry individuals, 71,221 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0365 higher (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.042); p = 8 × 10−36.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — inside USP4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2304442

What is rs2304442?

rs2304442 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP4 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin a1c levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2304442 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 rs2304442 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
