What the study found

Who was studied 206,856 European ancestry individuals, 143,658 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 6.28 z score lower; p = 3 × 10−10.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.1 — between genes, 15.6 kb from GFRAL.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C 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.

Questions about rs143297173

What is rs143297173?

rs143297173 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GFRAL 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.

What conditions is rs143297173 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 rs143297173 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 rs143297173 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31015462. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
