Serum urate levels

BAIAP2L1 · rs62478236

What the study found

Who was studied 219,768 East Asian ancestry individuals, 677,373 European ancestry individuals, 132,182 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0173 higher (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.022); p = 9 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — in the 5′ untranslated region of BAIAP2L1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62478236

What is rs62478236?

rs62478236 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BAIAP2L1 gene. Published research associates it with serum 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 rs62478236 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 rs62478236 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:38658550. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
