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 C allele shifted the measure 0.0341 higher (95% confidence interval 0.026-0.042); p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of LINC00529.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2409742

What is rs2409742?

rs2409742 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00529 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 rs2409742 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 rs2409742 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 rs2409742 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.
