What the study found

Who was studied 6,353 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,179 South Asian ancestry controls, 3,871 European ancestry cases, 16,427 European ancestry controls, 34,840 cases, 114,981 controls; replicated in 7,888 South Asian ancestry cases, 20,679 South Asian ancestry controls, 387 European ancestry cases, 2,092 European ancestry controls, 19,998 East Asian ancestry cases, 30,983 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.128 higher (95% confidence interval 0.081-0.176); p = 1 × 10−7.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q27 — between genes, 19.8 kb from SMIM43.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2706785

What is rs2706785?

rs2706785 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM155 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 rs2706785 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 rs2706785 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 rs2706785 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28869590. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
