What the study found

Who was studied 567,460 European ancestry individuals, 165,726 East Asian ancestry individuals, 13,842 African American individuals, 13,359 South Asian ancestry individuals, 4,961 Hispanic individuals; replicated in 216,518 European ancestry individuals, 64,204 non-Hispanic black individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0048 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0032-0.0064); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.22 — in an intron of CASZ1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs74748843

What is rs74748843?

rs74748843 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASZ1 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74748843 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 rs74748843 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31152163. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
