What the study found

Who was studied 1,201 Iraqi ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.75 higher (95% confidence interval 0.51-0.99); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — between genes, 111.5 kb from DOCK5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73231408

What is rs73231408?

rs73231408 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DOCK5 gene. Published research associates it with fasting blood glucose. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73231408 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Fasting Blood Glucose. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs73231408 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 rs73231408 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2022, PMID:35227251. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
