Membranous nephropathy

PLA2R1 · rs17831251

What the study found

Who was studied 2,150 European ancestry cases, 5,829 European ancestry controls, 1,612 East Asian ancestry cases, 1,970 East Asian ancestry controls; replicated in 826 Chinese ancestry cases, 1,239 Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 2.25 times the odds of Membranous nephropathy (95% confidence interval 2.09-2.42); p = 5 × 10−103.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.2 — in an intron of PLA2R1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17831251

What is rs17831251?

rs17831251 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLA2R1 gene. Published research associates it with membranous nephropathy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17831251 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 rs17831251 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32231244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
