Fasting blood proinsulin levels

SGSM2 · rs61741902

What the study found

Who was studied up to 8,229 Finnish ancestry non-diabetic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.126 higher (95% confidence interval 0.085-0.167); p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — a missense change in SGSM2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs61741902

What is rs61741902?

rs61741902 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SGSM2 gene. Published research associates it with fasting blood proinsulin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61741902 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 rs61741902 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2013, PMID:23263489. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
