Type 2 diabetes

UBE3C · rs6950739

Where this position leads

Condition: Type 2 Diabetes

rs6950739 Condition: Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes Condition rs6950739 rs6950739 UBE3C

What the study found

Who was studied 40,250 Japanese ancestry cases, 170,615 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.95 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 0.932872168-0.964018754); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q36.3 — in an intron of UBE3C.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6950739

What is rs6950739?

rs6950739 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UBE3C 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 rs6950739 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 rs6950739 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 rs6950739 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32514122. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
