Questions about rs17158386

What is rs17158386?

rs17158386 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WIPF3 gene. Published research associates it with urinary albumin excretion. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17158386 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 rs17158386 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 rs17158386 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2018, PMID:30220432. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
