Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio

SLC22A4 · rs162890

What the study found

Who was studied 547,361 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0135 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0092-0.0177); p = 6 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.1 — inside P4HA2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs162890

What is rs162890?

rs162890 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC22A4 gene. Published research associates it with urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs162890 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 rs162890 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31511532. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
