rs11144134

rs11144134 is a variant at TRPM6, a gene encoding an ion channel subunit that mediates active magnesium reabsorption in the kidney's distal convoluted tubule. The variant is a GWAS-identified marker for serum magnesium concentration, with the T allele tagging lower circulating magnesium levels in European-ancestry cohorts. It is used in this dataset, together with a MUC1 variant, as part of the genetic context for magnesium status.
