What the study found

Who was studied 15,226 British ancestry non-diabetics individuals from 6863 families, 948 British ancestry diabetic individuals from 6863 families..

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.175 mmol/L higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.21); p = 1 × 10−28.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p13 — in an intron of YKT6.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Fasting plasma glucose. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Fasting plasma glucose. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Fasting plasma glucose. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs917793

What is rs917793?

rs917793 is a single position in the genome, in or near the YKT6 gene. Published research associates it with fasting plasma glucose. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs917793 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Gout. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs917793 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 rs917793 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2017, PMID:28270201. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
