Questions about rs4738817

What is rs4738817?

rs4738817 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHD7 gene. Published research associates it with urinary albumin excretion (no hypertensive medication). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4738817 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 rs4738817 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.
