Serum uromodulin levels (aptamer-based assay)

B4GALT1 · rs10738906

What the study found

Who was studied 18,070 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0875 lower (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.11); p = 8 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.1 — in an intron of B4GALT1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-09-05. ClinVar record 1237475 NM_001497.4(B4GALT1):c.413-212A>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 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

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Serum uromodulin levels (aptamer-based assay). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Serum uromodulin levels (aptamer-based assay). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum uromodulin levels (aptamer-based assay). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10738906

What is rs10738906?

rs10738906 is a single position in the genome, in or near the B4GALT1 gene. Published research associates it with serum uromodulin levels (aptamer-based assay). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10738906 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 rs10738906 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JCI insight 2022, PMID:35446786. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
