What the study found

Who was studied 327,435 European ancestry individuals, 5,845 African ancestry individuals, 6,425 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0299 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.038); p = 6 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.2 — a synonymous change in CYP24A1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Hypercalcemia, infantile, 1; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 6 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-04. ClinVar record 338825 NM_000782.5(CYP24A1):c.744G>A (p.Thr248=)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6068816

What is rs6068816?

rs6068816 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CYP24A1 gene. Published research associates it with vitamin d levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6068816 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 rs6068816 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 rs6068816 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
