Creatinine levels

near RNU1-146P · rs61918522

What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0119 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0082-0.0156); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.3 — between genes, 75.4 kb from RNU1-146P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs61918522

What is rs61918522?

rs61918522 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU1-146P gene. Published research associates it with creatinine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61918522 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 rs61918522 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
