Estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetics

MTX2 · rs72938846

What the study found

Who was studied 152,624 European ancestry individuals, 36,369 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.23 higher (95% confidence interval 0.86-1.6); p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q31.1 — between genes, 15.3 kb from PPIAP67.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetics. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetics. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetics. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72938846

What is rs72938846?

rs72938846 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MTX2 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetics. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72938846 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 rs72938846 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31451708. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
