Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine)

near AKT2 · rs59343080

What the study found

Who was studied 1,004,040 European ancestry individuals, 165,726 East Asian ancestry individuals, 13,842 African American individuals, 13,359 South Asian ancestry individuals, 4,961 Hispanic individuals, 2 individuals; replicated in 417,288 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00241 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0019-0.003); p = 8 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — between genes, 1.6 kb from AKT2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs59343080

What is rs59343080?

rs59343080 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near AKT2 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs59343080 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 rs59343080 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34272381. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
