What the study found

Who was studied 757,601 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 249,262 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.108 mmHg lower (95% confidence interval 0.072-0.145); p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.1 — in an intron of LINC01762.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diastolic blood pressure.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs12078697

What is rs12078697?

rs12078697 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP4-655J12.4 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 rs12078697 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 rs12078697 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 rs12078697 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30224653. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
