What the study found

Who was studied 133,413 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 42,166 European ancestry individuals, up to 16,471 African ancestry individuals, up to 42,296 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0056 lower (95% confidence interval 0.004-0.0072); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q24 — in an intron of MANBA.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). 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 Glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs228611

What is rs228611?

rs228611 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFKB1 gene. Published research associates it with glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs228611 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 rs228611 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 rs228611 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:26831199. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
