Who was studied 36,614 Japanese ancestry cases, 155,150 Japanese ancestry controls.
The effect
The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 5 × 10−12.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p13 — between genes, 3.6 kb from MYL7.
What each result means
G/GTwo 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.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs2908279 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GCK 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 rs2908279 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 rs2908279 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 rs2908279 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30718926. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
