Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 22,566 Japanese ancestry cases, 28,226 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 8,809 East Asian ancestry cases, 13,663 East Asian ancestry controls, 105,253 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.121 lower (95% confidence interval 0.094-0.149); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.3 — in an intron of KCNK3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Hypertension. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1731243

What is rs1731243?

rs1731243 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNK3 gene. Published research associates it with hypertension. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1731243 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 rs1731243 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 rs1731243 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30487518. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
