What the study found

Who was studied 346 European ancestry cases, 727 European ancestry controls; replicated in 185 European ancestry cases, 340 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.87 times the odds of Type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid diseases; p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.2 — in an intron of AP4B1-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid diseases. 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 Type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid diseases. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid diseases. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2358994

What is rs2358994?

rs2358994 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCL2L15 gene. Published research associates it with type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid diseases. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2358994 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 1 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2358994 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 rs2358994 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Autoimmun 2015, PMID:25936594. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
