Urinary sodium excretion

KCTD13 · rs11646118

What the study found

Who was studied 446,237 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 7,612 African ancestry individuals, 10,095 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0138 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0095-0.0181); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 91% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p11.2 — in a non-coding transcript of ASPHD1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11646118

What is rs11646118?

rs11646118 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCTD13 gene. Published research associates it with urinary sodium excretion. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11646118 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 rs11646118 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31409800. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
