The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−19.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 78% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.2 — in an intron of ST7L.
rs12118370 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST7L gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure x alcohol consumption interaction (2df test). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Pressure. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
