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 C allele shifted the measure 0.0527 higher (95% confidence interval 0.042-0.063); p = 4 × 10−23.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.1 — between genes, 2.6 kb from SHF.
What each result means
C/CTwo 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.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12438970
What is rs12438970?
rs12438970 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SHF 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 rs12438970 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 rs12438970 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 rs12438970 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.
