Estimated glomerular filtration rate

FOXO3 · rs1268168

What the study found

Who was studied 567,460 European ancestry individuals, 165,726 East Asian ancestry individuals, 13,842 African American individuals, 13,359 South Asian ancestry individuals, 4,961 Hispanic individuals; replicated in 216,518 European ancestry individuals, 64,204 non-Hispanic black individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0024 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0018-0.003); p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — between genes, 2.2 kb from FOXO3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1268168

What is rs1268168?

rs1268168 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOXO3 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1268168 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 rs1268168 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31152163. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
