Takes medication for Diabetes/sugar?

THADA · rs78314405

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−27, with 4 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 13,958 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 41,547 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 7,497 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 21,817 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 852 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,695 East Asian ancestry controls, 67,092 European ancestry cases, 248,576 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.128 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.15); p = 8 × 10−28.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — in an intron of THADA.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Takes medication for Diabetes/sugar?. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Takes medication for Diabetes/sugar?. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Takes medication for Diabetes/sugar?. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs78314405

What is rs78314405?

rs78314405 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THADA gene. Published research associates it with takes medication for diabetes/sugar?. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78314405 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 rs78314405 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
