Where this position leads
Drug: Statins
What the study found
Who was studied 5,625 Korean ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.63 times the odds of Hyperuricemia in high cholesterol intake (95% confidence interval 1.38-1.92); p = 1 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — in an intron of ABCG2.
rs138409370 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABCG2 gene. Published research associates it with hyperuricemia in high cholesterol intake. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
ABCG2 carries pharmacogenomic findings for Statins. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.
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.
