Systolic blood pressure

C9orf43 · rs111841972

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 1,164,961 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.28 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.18-0.37); p = 5 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 94% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q32 — a missense change in C9orf43.

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/C One copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.

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

Questions about rs111841972

What is rs111841972?

rs111841972 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C9orf43 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 rs111841972 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 rs111841972 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 rs111841972 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:33230300. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
