The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.051 lower (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.064); p = 3 × 10−15.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.2 — inside MEG3.
rs73347525 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DLK1 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
