C8 Carnitine levels in chronic kidney disease

ACADM · rs61799988

What the study found

Who was studied 822 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.32 lower (95% confidence interval 0.24-0.4); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — inside ACADM.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to C8 Carnitine levels in chronic kidney disease. 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 C8 Carnitine levels in chronic kidney disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to C8 Carnitine levels in chronic kidney disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs61799988

What is rs61799988?

rs61799988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACADM gene. Published research associates it with c8 carnitine levels in chronic kidney disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61799988 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 rs61799988 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Kidney international 2022, PMID:35120996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
