Hexokinase-2 levels

near HK2-DT · rs687506

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.109 lower (95% confidence interval 0.08-0.138); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p12 — between genes, 19.7 kb from HK2-DT.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Hexokinase-2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Hexokinase-2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hexokinase-2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs687506

What is rs687506?

rs687506 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HK2-DT gene. Published research associates it with hexokinase-2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs687506 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 rs687506 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
