MYO9A · rs8557

Where this position leads

Condition: Gout

What the study found

Who was studied 77,627 European ancestry cases, 933,894 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Gout (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.06); p = 4 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q23 — in the 3′ untranslated region of MYO9A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Gout. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Gout. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Gout. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs8557

What is rs8557?

rs8557 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYO9A gene. Published research associates it with gout. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8557 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 rs8557 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 rs8557 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39406924. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
