Questions about rs6768627

What is rs6768627?

rs6768627 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYL3 gene. Published research associates it with urinary albumin excretion. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6768627 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Kidney Function. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6768627 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 rs6768627 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2018, PMID:30220432. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
