Who was studied 342,087 European ancestry individuals, 6,011 African ancestry individuals, 7,328 South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0384 lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.045); p = 1 × 10−26.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p13.3 — in an intron of AAK1.
What each result means
C/CTwo 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.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12987661
What is rs12987661?
rs12987661 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AAK1 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.
What conditions is rs12987661 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Gout. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs12987661 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 rs12987661 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
