Glycated hemoglobin HbA1c levels

B3GNTL1 · rs7225887

What the study found

Who was studied 8,819 African American individuals, 2,644 East Asian ancestry individuals, 122,446 European ancestry individuals, 2,327 Hispanic individuals, 7,824 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.015 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 6 × 10−22.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q25.3 — a missense change in B3GNTL1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin HbA1c levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin HbA1c levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Glycated hemoglobin HbA1c levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7225887

What is rs7225887?

rs7225887 is a single position in the genome, in or near the B3GNTL1 gene. Published research associates it with glycated hemoglobin hba1c levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7225887 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 rs7225887 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Wellcome open research 2023, PMID:39280063. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
