What the study found

Who was studied 62,752 European ancestry cases, 174,778 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0647 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.082); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in the 3′ untranslated region of GOSR2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Likely benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter). ClinVar record 323835 NM_004287.5(GOSR2):c.*1067G>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Medication use (agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Medication use (agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Medication use (agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11874

What is rs11874?

rs11874 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GOSR2 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11874 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Medication Use as a Genetic Trait. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11874 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 rs11874 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31015401. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
