Kidney sinus volume

PKN1 · rs8598

What the study found

Who was studied 38,816 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.04 lower (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.06); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.12 — a synonymous change in PKN1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Kidney sinus volume. 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 sinus volume. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Kidney sinus volume. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8598

What is rs8598?

rs8598 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PKN1 gene. Published research associates it with kidney sinus volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8598 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 rs8598 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Kidney international 2026, PMID:41077127. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
