Serum urate levels

near LTO1 · rs4441044

What the study found

Who was studied 630,117 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0192 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.024); p = 5 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 65% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.3 — between genes, 10.2 kb from LTO1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4441044

What is rs4441044?

rs4441044 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LTO1 gene. Published research associates it with serum 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 rs4441044 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 rs4441044 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39406924. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
