Where this position leads

Condition: Gout

What the study found

Who was studied 342,286 European ancestry individuals, 6,015 African ancestry individuals, 7,336 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0625 higher (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.076); p = 2 × 10⁻²⁰.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.3 — between genes, 56.6 kb from LINC01991.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Urea levels compared to the general population.

A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Urea levels.

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

Questions about rs62279868

What is rs62279868?

rs62279868 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01991 gene. Published research associates it with urea 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 rs62279868 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 rs62279868 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 rs62279868 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.
