What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Urate levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:33462484)
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Urate levels. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:33462484)
G/G
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Urate levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:33462484)

Questions about rs79824542
What is rs79824542?
rs79824542 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZNF518B 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 rs79824542 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 rs79824542 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
