What the study found

Who was studied 454,183 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0282 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.033); p = 2 × 10−28.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.2 — between genes, 66.1 kb from LINC01228.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Urate levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Urate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9935686

What is rs9935686?

rs9935686 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01228 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 rs9935686 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 rs9935686 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) 2021, PMID:33356394. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
