What the study found

Who was studied 291,512 European ancestry individuals, 5,007 African ancestry individuals, 6,088 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0552 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.07); p = 2 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — in the 5′ untranslated region of RECQL.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-06-20. ClinVar record 679753 NM_002907.4(RECQL):c.-207C>T

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73071387

What is rs73071387?

rs73071387 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RECQL gene. Published research associates it with direct bilirubin 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 rs73071387 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 rs73071387 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 rs73071387 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.
