What the study found

Who was studied 526,001 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.476 higher (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.6); p = 1 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.11 — in an intron of HVCN1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs118156615

What is rs118156615?

rs118156615 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HVCN1 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic 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 rs118156615 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 rs118156615 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 rs118156615 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 2022, PMID:35762941. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
