Estimated glomerular filtration rate in sickle cell disease

RAB11A · rs540404388

What the study found

Who was studied 966 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 26.4 higher (95% confidence interval 17.05-35.81); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.31 — inside RAB11A.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate in sickle cell 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 Estimated glomerular filtration rate in sickle cell disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate in sickle cell disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs540404388

What is rs540404388?

rs540404388 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAB11A gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate in sickle cell disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs540404388 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 rs540404388 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Blood advances 2026, PMID:42616615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
