RELA · rs12289836

What the study found

Who was studied 110,238 European ancestry individuals, 21,471 East Asian individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.046 mg/dl lower (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.056); p = 9 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.1 — in an intron of RELA-DT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Urate levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12289836

What is rs12289836?

rs12289836 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RELA gene. Published research associates it with urate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12289836 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs12289836 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2020, PMID:31985003. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
