What the study found

Who was studied 153,950 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0214 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.028); p = 7 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — in an intron of EBF2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1001372

What is rs1001372?

rs1001372 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EBF2 gene. Published research associates it with systolic blood pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1001372 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Pressure. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1001372 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 rs1001372 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
