What the study found

Who was studied 8,504 European ancestry cases, 388,819 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.33 times the odds of Kidney stone disease (95% confidence interval 1.21-1.45); p = 6 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.3 — in an intron of SLC22A2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78693187

What is rs78693187?

rs78693187 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC22A2 gene. Published research associates it with kidney stone disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs78693187 linked to?

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

Does having rs78693187 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 rs78693187 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN 2023, PMID:37787550. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
