Serum uric acid levels

TMEM262 · rs138158275

What the study found

Who was studied 6,881 Korean ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,914 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.442 lower (95% confidence interval 0.3-0.58); p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.1 — inside VPS51.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum uric acid 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 Serum uric acid levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Serum uric acid levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs138158275

What is rs138158275?

rs138158275 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM262 gene. Published research associates it with serum uric acid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs138158275 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 rs138158275 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2020, PMID:32514006. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
