Urine pH measurement

WDR72 · rs551225

What the study found

Who was studied 149,899 Icelandic ancestry individuals (includes non-array genotyped, whole-genome imputed individuals).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.03 lower (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.03); p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.3 — a missense change in WDR72.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A3; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 6 submitters), last evaluated 2024-11-27. ClinVar record 263003 NM_182758.4(WDR72):c.917C>T (p.Pro306Leu)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Urine pH measurement. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Urine pH measurement. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Urine pH measurement. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs551225

What is rs551225?

rs551225 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDR72 gene. Published research associates it with urine ph measurement. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs551225 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 rs551225 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:30476138. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
