Blood urea nitrogen levels

FLJ45513 · rs271679

What the study found

Who was studied 416,178 European and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0051 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0035-0.0067); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.33 — between genes, 58 kb from RNU6-1313P.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood urea nitrogen levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Blood urea nitrogen levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Blood urea nitrogen levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs271679

What is rs271679?

rs271679 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FLJ45513 gene. Published research associates it with blood urea nitrogen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs271679 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 rs271679 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31152163. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
