Marker

rs7442295

rs7442295 is a common marker inside SLC2A9, a gene that helps the kidneys move uric acid. Each G copy is linked to lower uric acid in men and women. The average difference is about twice as large in women: about 0.46 mg/dL per G copy, compared with 0.25 mg/dL in men. This marker cannot measure a person's uric acid level or diagnose or rule out gout. The strongest effect estimates come from European-ancestry cohorts, so customer delivery requires an ancestry gate.
