WDR72 · rs556217

What the study found

Who was studied 421,297 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0278 lower (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.032); p = 5 × 10−32.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.3 — in an intron of WDR72.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to potassium (maximum, inv-norm transformed). 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 potassium (maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to potassium (maximum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs556217

What is rs556217?

rs556217 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDR72 gene. Published research associates it with potassium (maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs556217 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 rs556217 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
