What the study found

Who was studied 288,649 European ancestry individuals, 125,725 East Asian ancestry individuals, 33,671 African American individuals, 9,037 South Asian ancestry individuals, 608 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.033 mg/dL higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.042); p = 5 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.2 — in an intron of WDR82.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to 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 Urate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs699465

What is rs699465?

rs699465 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDR82 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 rs699465 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 rs699465 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:31578528. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
