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 5,214 African ancestry individuals, 600,162 European ancestry individuals, 152,793 East Asian ancestry individuals, 13,323 Hispanic individuals, 2,488 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.012 lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.014); p = 1 × 10⁻³⁵.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq22.3 — in an intron of MORC4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs181497961

What is rs181497961?

rs181497961 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MORC4 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs181497961 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 rs181497961 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:38233393. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
