Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 74,124 European ancestry cases, 824,006 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.89 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.52-2.35); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.1 — a missense change in ABCC8.

What ClinVar records

Classification Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 1, Diabetes mellitus, transient neonatal, 2, Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Leucine-induced hypoglycemia and 5 more; criteria provided, conflicting classifications (1 of 4 stars, 18 submitters), last evaluated 2026-04-13. ClinVar record 210067 NM_000352.6(ABCC8):c.1252T>C (p.Cys418Arg)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs67254669

What is rs67254669?

rs67254669 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNJ11 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.

What conditions is rs67254669 linked to?

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.

Does having rs67254669 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 rs67254669 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30297969. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
