What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glomerular filtration rate in non diabetics (creatinine) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glomerular filtration rate in non diabetics (creatinine).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glomerular filtration rate in non diabetics (creatinine) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs163160

What is rs163160?

rs163160 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNQ1 gene. Published research associates it with glomerular filtration rate in non diabetics (creatinine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs163160 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 rs163160 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 rs163160 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:26831199. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
