SLC2A9 · rs2139242

What the study found

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 T allele shifted the measure 0.15 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.17); p = 1 × 10−61.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.1 — in an intron of SLC2A9.

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 rs2139242

What is rs2139242?

rs2139242 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC2A9 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 rs2139242 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 rs2139242 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.
