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 A allele shifted the measure 2.34 lower (95% confidence interval 2.29-2.39); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18p11.31 — in an intron of L3MBTL4.

What each result means

A/A 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.
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 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.

Questions about rs537938132

What is rs537938132?

rs537938132 is a single position in the genome, in or near the L3MBTL4 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 rs537938132 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 rs537938132 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 rs537938132 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.
