Here you can download genome-wide summary statistics (e.g., genetic effect estimates and association P-Values for millions of genetic variants) that resulted from various genome-wide association (GWAS) meta-analysis projects. 


Kidney function decline (Gorski et al. 2022)

Download summary statistics (Gorski et al., Kidney Int. 2022): 

CKDGen_eGFR-decline_overall_adjDM.txt.gz 

(md5sum: ea27368f59e7dc65cffdfb7d904e1d32)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 343,339 individuals and adjusted for age, sex and diabetes-status. These can be considered equivalent to GWAS summary statistics on eGFR-decline adjusted for age and sex (not adjusted for diabetes-status): when comparing these summary statistics to summary statistics for eGFR-decline adjusted for age and sex (not adjusted for diabetes-status) in a subgroup, we found no difference in terms of beta-estimates, standard errors, P-values (Gorski et al., Kidney Int. 2022). 

CKDGen_eGFR-decline_overall_adjBL.txt.gz 

(md5sum: 1a64e96fb5945803642c8f6f38a9429b)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 320,737 individuals and adjusted for age, sex and eGFR-baseline. The adjusting for eGFR-baseline here, and in general, for GWAS on eGFR-decline can induce a collider bias for genetic variants that are associated with eGFR-baseline; these summary statistics should thus be used with an understanding of such a collider bias.

CKDGen_eGFR-decline_DM.txt.gz 

(md5sum: ea427d8c34cd4db798492c0377cffe86)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 37,375 individuals with diabetes at baseline adjusted for age and sex. 

CKDGen_eGFR-decline_CKD.txt.gz 

(md5sum: d040d352a2a60f27909fc109d9e1292c)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 26,653 individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at baseline and can be considered genetic effects on CKD-progression. Similar to the adjusting for eGFR-baseline, the restriction to individuals with CKD at baseline can induce a bias in beta-estimates for genetic variants that are associated with CKD at baseline.

Diabetes-stratified kidney function (eGFR, Winkler et al. 2022)

Here you can download summary statistics from our diabetes-stratified GWAS meta-analysis on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, Winkler et al. Commun Biol 2022): 

The genome-wide association summary statistics contain genetic effects on log(eGFR) in individuals with diabetes, in individuals without diabetes, a difference test P-Value and a 2-degree-of-freedom chi-squared joint (main+interaction) test P-Value.

The results are derived from the combined Stage 1+2 meta-analysis. Further details on the phenotype transformation or sample inclusions can be found in the paper (Winkler et al. Commun Biol 2022).
