Urinary 4-deoxyerythronic acid to urinary creatinine ratio

ELOC · rs72661850

What the study found

Who was studied 7,609 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.12 lower (95% confidence interval 0.081-0.159); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.11 — in an intron of ELOC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Urinary 4-deoxyerythronic acid 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 4-deoxyerythronic acid to urinary creatinine ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Urinary 4-deoxyerythronic acid to urinary creatinine ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72661850

What is rs72661850?

rs72661850 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELOC gene. Published research associates it with urinary 4-deoxyerythronic acid 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 rs72661850 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 rs72661850 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.
