Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 77,418 East Asian cases, 356,122 East Asian controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.08 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.09); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁷.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HCG22.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs76541615

What is rs76541615?

rs76541615 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MHC-region 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.

What conditions is rs76541615 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 rs76541615 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 rs76541615 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2020, PMID:32499647. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
