Hemoglobin A1c levels

TCF4 · rs72926972

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 344,182 European ancestry individuals, 71,221 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0248 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.033); p = 5 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — in an intron of TCF4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Hemoglobin A1c levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
