Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.051 lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.067); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — in an intron of KLHL3.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Serum potassium levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Serum potassium levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Serum potassium levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs17797119

What is rs17797119?

rs17797119 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KLHL3 gene. Published research associates it with serum potassium levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17797119 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 rs17797119 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
