KPNA1 · rs143597009

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.227 higher (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.28); p = 4 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.1 — in an intron of KPNA1.

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 rs143597009

What is rs143597009?

rs143597009 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KPNA1 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 rs143597009 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 rs143597009 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
