Urinary glycine to urinary creatinine ratio

SLC36A2 · rs61067578

What the study found

Who was studied 7,795 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.24 higher (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.28); p = 1 × 10−24.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 84% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.1 — in an intron of SLC36A2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Urinary glycine to urinary creatinine ratio. 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 Urinary glycine to urinary creatinine ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Urinary glycine to urinary creatinine ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs61067578

What is rs61067578?

rs61067578 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC36A2 gene. Published research associates it with urinary glycine to urinary creatinine ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61067578 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 rs61067578 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:39746953. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
