Who was studied 1,205,871 European ancestry individuals, 168,300 East Asian ancestry individuals, 63,553 African ancestry individuals, 23,509 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 22,103 African American individuals, 21,791 Central Asian or South Asian ancestry individuals, 1,502 Middle Eastern ancestry individuals, 939 other admixed ancestry individuals, 602 Native American ancestry individuals, 150 Asian ancestry individuals, 339 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 7.87 z score higher; p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in an intron of SPIRE2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs72811597

What is rs72811597?

rs72811597 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPIRE2 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72811597 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 rs72811597 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35710981. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
