What the study found

Who was studied 100,453 Chinese Han ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.389 higher (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.51); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.32 — in an intron of PRDM16.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12041848

What is rs12041848?

rs12041848 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM16 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure (bmi adjusted). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12041848 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 rs12041848 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 rs12041848 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39048560. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
