Blood urea nitrogen levels

MAPKAPK5 · rs78069066

What the study found

Who was studied 58,406 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0186 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.023); p = 2 × 10−19.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.13 — in the 3′ untranslated region of MAPKAPK5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78069066

What is rs78069066?

rs78069066 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAPKAPK5 gene. Published research associates it with blood urea nitrogen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78069066 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 rs78069066 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Kidney research and clinical practice 2024, PMID:37919891. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
