Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the 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 342,087 European ancestry individuals, 6,011 African ancestry individuals, 7,328 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0455 lower (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.057); p = 4 × 10⁻¹⁵.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.1 — between genes, 242.4 kb from LINC02498.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of 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 Urate levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Urate levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs61795273

What is rs61795273?

rs61795273 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02498 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 rs61795273 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 rs61795273 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.
