Creatinine levels

CTC-537E7.1 · rs17257827

What the study found

Who was studied 69,591 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.055 higher (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.071); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q13.1 — between genes, 217.4 kb from PIK3R1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Creatinine levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17257827

What is rs17257827?

rs17257827 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTC-537E7.1 gene. Published research associates it with creatinine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17257827 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 rs17257827 come from?

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