Fasting blood insulin

IGF1 · rs35747

What the study found

Who was studied Up to 51,750 European ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 33,823 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0233 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.031); p = 9 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — in an intron of LINC02456.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs35747

What is rs35747?

rs35747 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGF1 gene. Published research associates it with fasting blood insulin. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs35747 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 rs35747 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22581228. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
