What the study found

Who was studied 322,141 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.22 z score lower; p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — in an intron of PLEKHM1.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs111423688

What is rs111423688?

rs111423688 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLEKHM1 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 rs111423688 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 rs111423688 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 rs111423688 come from?

GWAS Catalog, HGG advances 2025, PMID:39663699. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
