SLC14A2 · rs1462152

What the study found

Who was studied 342,286 European ancestry individuals, 6,015 African ancestry individuals, 7,336 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0453 higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.059); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.3 — in an intron of SLC14A2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Urea levels compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Urea levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Urea levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1462152

What is rs1462152?

rs1462152 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC14A2 gene. Published research associates it with urea levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1462152 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 rs1462152 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.
