What the study found

Who was studied 738 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,755 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,517 European ancestry cases, 445,450 European ancestry controls, 314 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,045 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.285 higher (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.37); p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — in an intron of INS-IGF2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-08-25. ClinVar record 1275239 NC_000011.10:g.2159566C>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations (PheCode 250.13). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations (PheCode 250.13). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations (PheCode 250.13). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3842755

What is rs3842755?

rs3842755 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INS-IGF2 gene. Published research associates it with type 1 diabetes with ophthalmic manifestations (phecode 250.13). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3842755 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 1 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs3842755 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 rs3842755 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
