rs7754840

Chromosome : 6 , Position: 20661019
Most conditions are affected by anywhere from hundreds to millions of genetic variants (SNPs). A single SNP usually has a minor contribution to a person’s overall genetic risk for a certain condition. That is why you shouldn't consider or act on a SNP in isolation. Instead, we use SNPs to determine polygenic risk scores (PRSs), which are the basis of most health reports.

Summary

The accuracy of claims about this snp are called into question by table 1 of type-2 diabetes Carriers of the (C;G) and (C;C) genotypes of rs7754840 had 11% and 24% lower first-phase insulin release in an IVGTT compared to that in carriers of the (G;G) genotype (P=0.002). The C allele was also associated with higher glucose area under the curve in an OGTT (P=0.016).

More Information

rs7754840 was strongly and significantly associated with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and HbA1c (P = 0.00091) [R]. 

According to one study in the Uyghur population ''C'' allele carriers had a 2.32-fold increased risk of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (OR: 1.19-4.54) [R].

rs7754840 (no reported alleles) was significantly associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The ''C'' allele was significantly associated with decreased insulin concentration and HOMA-B (homeostasis model assessment) in subjects with GDM [RR1].  

rs7754840 (no reported alleles) was significantly associated with decreased area under the curves (AUC) for insulin [RR1].

The risk ''C'' allele was significantly associated with increased Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) levels (P = 3.8 × 10(-4)) [R], and higher type 2 diabetes risk (OR = 1.18; P = 0.038) [RR1R2R3R4R5].

The ''C'' allele was associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in men (P(trend) = 0.03) [R].

Inverse associations between habitual coffee intake and the combined risk of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes were limited to those with the ''G'' allele (GG/GC) [R].
