Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4499_21)

PRKAR1B · rs140891924

What the study found

Who was studied 466 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.55 lower (95% confidence interval 1.14-1.96); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.3 — in an intron of PRKAR1B.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4499_21). 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 Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4499_21). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet-derived growth factor subunit A level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4499_21). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs140891924

What is rs140891924?

rs140891924 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRKAR1B gene. Published research associates it with platelet-derived growth factor subunit a level in chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4499_21). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs140891924 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 rs140891924 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Kidney international 2022, PMID:35870639. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
