What the study found

Who was studied 139,705 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.087 higher (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.109); p = 5 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q15.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of INAFM2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3743140

What is rs3743140?

rs3743140 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INAFM2 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 rs3743140 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 rs3743140 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 rs3743140 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35551307. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
