According to 23andMe, this SNP increases your risk of Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your own body's insulin producing cells in the pancreas, preventing your blood sugar from being able to enter cells that need energy. This has been verified for white people. 23andMe originally wanted to use rs9272346 instead, but it was deemed unreliable.
