What the study found

Who was studied 557 Admixed American ancestry cases, 17,629 Admixed American ancestry controls, 533 South Asian ancestry cases, 30,288 South Asian ancestry controls, 1,312 African ancestry cases, 33,902 African ancestry controls, 10,425 East Asian ancestry cases, 338,934 East Asian ancestry controls, 24,278 European ancestry cases, 1,027,375 European ancestry controls; replicated in 890 African ancestry cases, 10,085 African ancestry controls, 1,708 European ancestry cases, 27,893 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0652 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.083); p = 2 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q23.2 — in an intron of SHLD2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Gout. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Gout. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Gout. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4515883

What is rs4515883?

rs4515883 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SHLD2 gene. Published research associates it with gout. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4515883 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Gout. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4515883 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 rs4515883 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2022, PMID:36777996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
