MUC1
MUC1 (mucin 1) encodes a large transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the apical surface of epithelial cells, including the renal tubular epithelium, where it contributes to cell-surface protection and signaling. The variant rs4072037 near MUC1 is a genome-wide-significant signal for serum magnesium concentration in large population studies (each copy of the minor allele associated with slightly lower blood magnesium), alongside separate associations with fasting glucose and bone mineral density.
