1,3-dimethylurate levels

PAOX · rs72868316

What the study found

Who was studied 7,444 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.342 higher (95% confidence interval 0.25-0.44); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.3 — in an intron of PAOX.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to 1,3-dimethylurate 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 1,3-dimethylurate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to 1,3-dimethylurate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72868316

What is rs72868316?

rs72868316 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAOX gene. Published research associates it with 1,3-dimethylurate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72868316 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 rs72868316 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36635386. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
