Uric acid levels

SCGN · rs742132

What the study found

Who was studied 12,328 European ancestry males, 15,813 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.05 mg/dl higher (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.072); p = 9 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 70% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — in an intron of CARMIL1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs742132

What is rs742132?

rs742132 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCGN gene. Published research associates it with uric acid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs742132?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs742132 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 rs742132 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19503597. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
