Who was studied 13,746 East Asian ancestry cases, 241,425 East Asian ancestry controls, 17,969 European ancestry cases, 702,230 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Kidney stone disease (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.11); p = 8 × 10−15.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.2 — in an intron of HIBADH.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Kidney stone disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Kidney stone disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Kidney stone disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs42085
What is rs42085?
rs42085 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HIBADH gene. Published research associates it with kidney stone disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs42085 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 rs42085 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 rs42085 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40216741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
