Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Triglycerides compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Triglycerides.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Triglycerides — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2972146

What is rs2972146?

rs2972146 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRS1 gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2972146 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs2972146?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (3 papers), heart and circulation (2 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2972146 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 rs2972146 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:24097068. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
