Osteopontin levels in chronic kidney disease

GRK6 · rs2731673

What the study found

Who was studied 4,897 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,979 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.178 ng/mL lower (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.21); p = 4 × 10−25.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q35.3 — inside F12.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2731673

What is rs2731673?

rs2731673 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GRK6 gene. Published research associates it with osteopontin levels in chronic kidney disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2731673 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 rs2731673 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2022, PMID:35385482. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
