What the study found

Who was studied 288,649 European ancestry individuals, 125,725 East Asian ancestry individuals, 33,671 African American individuals, 9,037 South Asian ancestry individuals, 608 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0454 mg/dL lower (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.059); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 61% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.13 — in an intron of HECTD4.

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 rs4766898

What is rs4766898?

rs4766898 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HECTD4 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 rs4766898 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 rs4766898 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31578528. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
