What the study found

Who was studied 454,183 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0623 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.081); p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — in an intron of ABCG2.

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 rs2231146

What is rs2231146?

rs2231146 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABCG2 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 rs2231146 affect how medicines work?

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.

Does having rs2231146 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 rs2231146 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) 2021, PMID:33356394. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
