What the study found

Who was studied 251,740 European ancestry individuals, 139,705 East Asian ancestry individuals, 40,737 South Asian ancestry individuals, 27,417 Hispanic individuals, 30,167 African American individuals, 2,426 Zulu ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Type 2 diabetes (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.05); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.2 — in an intron of BPTF.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Type 2 diabetes.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Type 2 diabetes — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs9899520

What is rs9899520?

rs9899520 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BPTF 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 rs9899520 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 rs9899520 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 rs9899520 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35551307. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
