What the study found
Who was studied 1,205,871 European ancestry individuals, 168,300 East Asian ancestry individuals, 63,553 African ancestry individuals, 23,509 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 22,103 African American individuals, 21,791 Central Asian or South Asian ancestry individuals, 1,502 Middle Eastern ancestry individuals, 939 other admixed ancestry individuals, 602 Native American ancestry individuals, 150 Asian ancestry individuals, 339 individuals.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 8.3 z score higher; p = 1 × 10−16.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.2 — between genes, 81.3 kb from LINC01228.
rs8060495 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01228 gene. Published research associates it with estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
