Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 11,130 Japanese ancestry cases, 187,639 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 2,289 Japanese ancestry cases, 3,817 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.14 times the odds of Urolithiasis; p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁶.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.2 — in an intron of TBX2-AS1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Urolithiasis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Urolithiasis.

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

Questions about rs2079742

What is rs2079742?

rs2079742 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCAS3 gene. Published research associates it with urolithiasis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2079742 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Urolithiasis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2079742 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 rs2079742 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Am Soc Nephrol 2019, PMID:30975718. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
