Glycated hemoglobin levels

near CTAG2 · rs7063597

What the study found

Who was studied 15,248 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.324 higher; p = 1 × 10−109.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq28 — between genes, 3.7 kb from OR3B1P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7063597

What is rs7063597?

rs7063597 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CTAG2 gene. Published research associates it with glycated hemoglobin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7063597 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 rs7063597 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34059833. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
