What the study found
Who was studied 51,256 African, African American, East Asian, South Asian, European, Middle Eastern, admixed American, other or other admixed ancestry cases, 370,487 African, African American, East Asian, South Asian, European, Middle Eastern, admixed American, other or other admixed ancestry controls; replicated in 73,088 African, African American, East Asian, South Asian, European, Middle Eastern, admixed American, other or other admixed ancestry cases, 79,827 African, African American, East Asian, South Asian, European, Middle Eastern, admixed American, other or other admixed ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0576 higher (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.075); p = 3 × 10−10.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of EYA2.
rs6066137 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EYA2 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
