What the study found

Who was studied 12,525 European ancestry cases, 668,014 European ancestry controls, 1,219 East Asian ancestry cases, 132,032 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 9 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — in an intron of UBASH3A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Type 1 diabetes. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

What is rs9981704?

rs9981704 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UBASH3A gene. Published research associates it with type 1 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 rs9981704 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Type 1 Diabetes. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9981704 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 rs9981704 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association 2026, PMID:42594184. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
