What the study found

Who was studied 3,549 European ancestry cases, 10,140 European ancestry controls, 4,590 East Asian ancestry cases, 7,573 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.1 — in an intron of REL-DT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs842638

What is rs842638?

rs842638 is a single position in the genome, in or near the REL-DT gene. Published research associates it with iga nephropathy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs842638 linked to?

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

Does having rs842638 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 rs842638 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37337107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
