Estimated glomerular filtration rate

FAM49A · rs4441471

What the study found

Who was studied 567,460 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 216,518 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0022 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0014-0.003); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p24.2 — between genes, 15.3 kb from CYRIA.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Estimated glomerular filtration rate compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Estimated glomerular filtration rate.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Estimated glomerular filtration rate — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4441471

What is rs4441471?

rs4441471 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM49A gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4441471 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 rs4441471 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.
