research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
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.
