What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Type 2 diabetes compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Science 2007, PMID:17463249)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Type 2 diabetes. (GWAS Catalog, Science 2007, PMID:17463249)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Type 2 diabetes — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Science 2007, PMID:17463249)

Questions about rs7901695

What is rs7901695?

rs7901695 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCF7L2 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.

Does having rs7901695 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 rs7901695 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science 2007, PMID:17463249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
