Rs11171739

rs11171739 has been reported in a large study to be associated with type-1 diabetes.

The risk allele (oriented to the dbSNP entry) is (C); the odds ratio associated with heterozygotes is 1.34 (CI 1.17-1.54), and for homozygotes, 1.75 (CI 1.48-2.06).

In an expanded follow-up study of >6,000 controls and 6,000 patients, in which rs2292239 was ultimately chosen to replace the nearby rs11171739 originally determined to be associated with type-1 diabetes, the heterozygote odds ratio for SNP rs11171739 was recalculated to be 1.22 (CI 1.17â€“1.29).
