LOC101929089: Unveiling a Novel Gene Linked to Renal Function
Description
LOC101929089 is a gene located on chromosome 10q26.3. It encodes a protein of unknown function, but recent research has shed light on its potential role in renal function.
Associated Diseases
Genetic variations in LOC101929089 have been associated with the following diseases:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD): Studies have found that certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in LOC101929089 are linked to an increased risk of developing CKD.
- End-stage renal disease (ESRD): Individuals with specific variations in LOC101929089 have a higher probability of progressing to ESRD, which requires dialysis or kidney transplantation.
Did you Know ?
A large-scale genome-wide association study involving over 100,000 individuals identified a common SNP in LOC101929089 that is associated with a 15% increased risk of CKD.
