What the study found

Who was studied 2,768 African-American cases, 6,059 African-American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.89 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease in APOL1 risk genotype negative individuals (95% confidence interval 1.54-2.34); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.2 — in an intron of GRAMD2B.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease in APOL1 risk genotype negative individuals. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease in APOL1 risk genotype negative individuals. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease in APOL1 risk genotype negative individuals. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs75029938

What is rs75029938?

rs75029938 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GRAMD3 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease in apol1 risk genotype negative individuals. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs75029938 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 rs75029938 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 rs75029938 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human genomics 2019, PMID:31092297. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
