What the study found

Who was studied 24,171 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 83,059 Taiwanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0807 higher (95% confidence interval 0.055-0.106); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p13 — in an intron of YKT6.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Metabolic syndrome. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Metabolic syndrome. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Metabolic syndrome. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2971668

What is rs2971668?

rs2971668 is a single position in the genome, in or near the YKT6 gene. Published research associates it with metabolic syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2971668 linked to?

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

Does having rs2971668 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 rs2971668 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nutrients 2023, PMID:38201907. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
