Blood urea nitrogen levels

PHC2 · rs72658302

What the study found

Who was studied 416,178 European and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.006 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0042-0.0078); p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p35.1 — in an intron of PHC2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72658302

What is rs72658302?

rs72658302 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PHC2 gene. Published research associates it with blood urea nitrogen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72658302 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 rs72658302 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31152163. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
