Albumin levels

UTRN · rs4896712

What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0139 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0098-0.018); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q24.2 — in an intron of UTRN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4896712

What is rs4896712?

rs4896712 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UTRN gene. Published research associates it with albumin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4896712 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 rs4896712 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
