What the study found

Who was studied 207,506 British ancestry individuals.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Birth weight (extremes removed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Birth weight (extremes removed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Birth weight (extremes removed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

What is rs2344500?

rs2344500 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ITPR2 gene. Published research associates it with birth weight (extremes removed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2344500 linked to?

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

Does having rs2344500 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 rs2344500 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetologia 2025, PMID:40210729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
