Plasma ribitol levels in chronic kidney disease

NASP · rs72688441

What the study found

Who was studied 4,833 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.177 lower (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.22); p = 4 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.1 — in an intron of NASP.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Plasma ribitol levels in chronic kidney disease compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Plasma ribitol levels in chronic kidney disease.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Plasma ribitol levels in chronic kidney disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs72688441

What is rs72688441?

rs72688441 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NASP gene. Published research associates it with plasma ribitol 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 rs72688441 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 rs72688441 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37277652. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
