What the study found

Who was studied 154,194 European ancestry cases, 278,454 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0546 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.064); p = 1 × 10−37.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.2 — in an intron of ZZEF1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes (PheCode 250.2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes (PheCode 250.2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Type 2 diabetes (PheCode 250.2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8081968

What is rs8081968?

rs8081968 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZZEF1 gene. Published research associates it with type 2 diabetes (phecode 250.2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8081968 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 rs8081968 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 rs8081968 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.
