What the study found

Who was studied 134,070 European ancestry individuals, 143,658 East Asian ancestry individuals, 26,344 Hispanic or Latino ancestry individuals, 8,224 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.1 ml/min/1.73m2 lower (95% confidence interval 0.31-1.89); p = 1 × 10−9.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q31.1 — in an intron of HOXD-AS2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Estimated glomerular filtration rate — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Estimated glomerular filtration rate.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Estimated glomerular filtration rate compared to the general population.

Questions about rs187355703

What is rs187355703?

rs187355703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOXD8 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.

What conditions is rs187355703 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 rs187355703 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 rs187355703 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:30604766. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
