Afamin level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4763_31)

AFM · rs72856634

What the study found

Who was studied 466 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.8 lower (95% confidence interval 0.58-1.02); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.3 — in an intron of AFM.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Afamin level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4763_31). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Afamin level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4763_31). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Afamin level in Chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4763_31). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72856634

What is rs72856634?

rs72856634 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFM gene. Published research associates it with afamin level in chronic kidney disease with hypertension and no diabetes (4763_31). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72856634 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 rs72856634 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Kidney international 2022, PMID:35870639. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
