rs6495446, an intronic SNP in the MTHFS gene, was associated with increased risk for chronic kidney disease based on a study associated with the Framingham Heart Study of ~1,000 Caucasian individuals. The odds ratio rs6495446(C) allele was 1.24 (CI: 1.09-1.41, p=0.001).news 23andMe reports this same information with a different emphasis since the T allele is the minor allele in both European and Asian populations: each T allele lowers the odds of chronic kidney disease by 0.8 times.
