Glycated hemoglobin levels

TUBA1C · rs55770587

What the study found

Who was studied 327,177 European ancestry individuals, 4,847 African ancestry individuals, 6,895 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0448 lower (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.057); p = 3 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.12 — inside TUBA1C.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55770587

What is rs55770587?

rs55770587 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TUBA1C gene. Published research associates it with glycated hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55770587 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 rs55770587 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
