What the study found

Who was studied 7,514 European ancestry cases, 9,045 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,267 European ancestry cases, 4,670 European ancestry controls, 4,342 European ancestry trios from 2,319 families.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Type 1 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.16); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 37% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.31 — in an intron of CD69.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 1 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 1 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4763879

What is rs4763879?

rs4763879 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CD69 gene. Published research associates it with type 1 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 rs4763879 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 rs4763879 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 rs4763879 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19430480. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
