Gene

TRPM6

TRPM6 encodes a channel involved in magnesium handling in the intestine and kidneys. The common intronic marker rs11144134 is linked to a very small average difference in serum magnesium in European-ancestry cohorts, but the causal variant and mechanism are unknown. This marker does not measure body magnesium stores, deficiency, dietary need, or supplement response.
