PCSK6 · rs6598475
Where this position leads
Condition: Type 2 Diabetes
What the study found
Who was studied 822 Greek ancestry cases, 1,125 Greek ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.56 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.40-1.72); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.3 — in an intron of PCSK6.
rs6598475 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCSK6 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.
