What the study found

Who was studied 153,950 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0393 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.046); p = 9 × 10−34.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q35.3 — inside SLC34A1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two 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.

Questions about rs12659266

What is rs12659266?

rs12659266 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC34A1 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 rs12659266 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Kidney Function. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs12659266 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 rs12659266 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
