What the study found

Who was studied 342,376 European ancestry individuals, 6,016 African ancestry individuals, 7,339 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0317 lower (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.039); p = 7 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q23 — a missense change in NFATC1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for NFATC1-related disorder; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-01. ClinVar record 1659336 NM_001278669.2(NFATC1):c.202C>A (p.Pro68Thr)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1051978

What is rs1051978?

rs1051978 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFATC1 gene. Published research associates it with creatinine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1051978 linked to?

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

Does having rs1051978 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 rs1051978 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
