A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Type 1 diabetes — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:34127860)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Type 1 diabetes. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:34127860)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Type 1 diabetes compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:34127860)
rs78037977 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FASLG gene. Published research associates it with type 1 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 rs78037977 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 1 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs78037977 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 rs78037977 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:34127860. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
