Who was studied 664 European ancestry youth cases, 1,068 African American youth cases, 1,274 Hispanic youth cases, 1,434 European ancestry adult controls, 1,068 African American adult controls, 3,559 Hispanic adult controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.53 times the odds of Childhood onset type 2 diabetes; p = 4 × 10−14.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.32 — in an intron of LINC03111.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Childhood onset type 2 diabetes compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Childhood onset type 2 diabetes.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Childhood onset type 2 diabetes — no copies of the reported risk allele.
rs72982988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MC4R gene. Published research associates it with childhood onset 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 rs72982988 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 rs72982988 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 rs72982988 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2021, PMID:33479058. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
