Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0164 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.019); p = 9 × 10−38.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.3 — in an intron of ACVR2A.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/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 rs13021972
What is rs13021972?
rs13021972 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACVR2A 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 rs13021972 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 rs13021972 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 rs13021972 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.
