Blood urea nitrogen levels

NCK1 · rs9879531

What the study found

Who was studied 416,178 European and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0078 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0058-0.0098); p = 5 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 76% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.3 — in an intron of NCK1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood urea nitrogen levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Blood urea nitrogen levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Blood urea nitrogen levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9879531

What is rs9879531?

rs9879531 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NCK1 gene. Published research associates it with blood urea nitrogen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9879531 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 rs9879531 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31152163. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
