Urinary uromodulin levels

PDILT · rs12446492

What the study found

Who was studied 10,884 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.15 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.17); p = 6 × 10−27.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.3 — in an intron of PDILT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12446492

What is rs12446492?

rs12446492 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PDILT gene. Published research associates it with urinary uromodulin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs12446492?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include kidneys (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs12446492 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 rs12446492 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Am Soc Nephrol 2014, PMID:24578125. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
