What the study found

Who was studied 454,183 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.015 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of HNF4A.

What ClinVar records

Classification Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for Maturity-onset diabetes of the young; criteria provided, conflicting classifications (1 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2018-06-14. ClinVar record 676884 NM_175914.5(HNF4A):c.1217-145T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

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 rs3746574

What is rs3746574?

rs3746574 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HNF4A 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 rs3746574 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 rs3746574 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.
