What the study found

Who was studied 62,892 European ancestry T2D cases, 79,194 European ancestry PrCa cases, 659,536 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.2 — in an intron of RGS17.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). 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 or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4385321

What is rs4385321?

rs4385321 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RGS17 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4385321 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 rs4385321 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 rs4385321 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2020, PMID:33290408. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
