What the study found

Who was studied 36,614 Japanese ancestry cases, 155,150 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−24.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.3 — in a non-coding transcript of CTBP1-DT.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs79407053

What is rs79407053?

rs79407053 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAEA 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 rs79407053 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 rs79407053 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 rs79407053 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30718926. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
