Hemoglobin A1c levels

INTS14 · rs6494529

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 344,182 European ancestry individuals, 71,221 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0194 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.024); p = 2 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.31 — in an intron of INTS14.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hemoglobin A1c levels compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hemoglobin A1c levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hemoglobin A1c levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6494529

What is rs6494529?

rs6494529 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INTS14 gene. Published research associates it with hemoglobin a1c levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6494529 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 rs6494529 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
