What the study found

Who was studied 42,257 East Asian, South Asian, and South East Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 19,662 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.005 mg/dl higher (95% confidence interval 0.0036-0.0064); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.3 — in an intron of WDR72.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Renal function-related traits (sCR). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Renal function-related traits (sCR). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Renal function-related traits (sCR). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17730436

What is rs17730436?

rs17730436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDR72 gene. Published research associates it with renal function-related traits (scr). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17730436 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 rs17730436 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 rs17730436 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2012, PMID:22797727. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
