Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0175 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.023); p = 5 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q13 — in an intron of KCNQ5.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12214158
What is rs12214158?
rs12214158 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNQ5 gene. Published research associates it with systolic 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 rs12214158 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 rs12214158 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 rs12214158 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
