What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0086 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0059-0.0113); p = 4 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p12 — between genes, 67.7 kb from HS3ST3B1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73979364

What is rs73979364?

rs73979364 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HS3ST3B1 gene. Published research associates it with creatinine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73979364 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Kidney Function. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs73979364 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 rs73979364 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
