KCNK6 · rs142888784

What the study found

Who was studied 305,349 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.00876 mmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.0071-0.0104); p = 8 × 10−27.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — a missense change in KCNK6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs142888784

What is rs142888784?

rs142888784 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNK6 gene. Published research associates it with calcium levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs142888784 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 rs142888784 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation. Genomic and precision medicine 2021, PMID:33887147. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
