BICC1 · rs1649053

What the study found

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

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.029 mg/dl lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.039); p = 9 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.1 — in an intron of BICC1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs1649053

What is rs1649053?

rs1649053 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BICC1 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 rs1649053 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 rs1649053 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.
