DGKD · rs838717
Where this position leads
Condition: Urolithiasis
What the study found
Who was studied 13,746 East Asian ancestry cases, 241,425 East Asian ancestry controls, 17,969 European ancestry cases, 702,230 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.92 times the odds of Kidney stone disease (95% confidence interval 0.9-0.93); p = 6 × 10−23.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — in an intron of DGKD.
rs838717 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DGKD 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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Urolithiasis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
