End-stage renal disease in diabetes

STAC · rs116216059

What the study found

Who was studied 2,717 European ancestry cases, 22,924 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 8.73 times the odds of End-stage renal disease in diabetes (95% confidence interval 4.13-18.45); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p22.2 — in an intron of STAC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to End-stage renal disease in diabetes. 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 End-stage renal disease in diabetes. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to End-stage renal disease in diabetes. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs116216059

What is rs116216059?

rs116216059 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STAC gene. Published research associates it with end-stage renal disease in diabetes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116216059 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 rs116216059 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetologia 2022, PMID:35763030. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
