What the study found

Who was studied 50,251 African American cases, 103,909 African American controls, 88,109 East Asian ancestry cases, 339,395 East Asian ancestry controls, 242,283 European ancestry cases, 1,569,734 European ancestry controls, 29,375 Hispanic cases, 59,368 Hispanic controls, 1,602 South African ancestry cases, 976 South African ancestry controls, 16,832 South Asian ancestry cases, 33,767 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — in an intron of ZNF251.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Type 2 diabetes — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Type 2 diabetes.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Type 2 diabetes compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7015203

What is rs7015203?

rs7015203 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZNF251 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 rs7015203 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 rs7015203 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 rs7015203 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38374256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
