What the study found

Who was studied 382,500 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00989 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0064-0.0134); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q12 — in an intron of FBXL20.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Urinary albumin excretion. 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 Urinary albumin excretion. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Urinary albumin excretion. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2338796

What is rs2338796?

rs2338796 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FBXL20 gene. Published research associates it with urinary albumin excretion. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2338796 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 rs2338796 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 rs2338796 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2018, PMID:30220432. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
