What the study found
Who was studied at least 757,601 European ancestry individuals (MTAG boosted by 455,258 Alzheimer's disease samples).
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0333 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.042); p = 7 × 10−14.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.22 — in a regulatory region of NPPA.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
rs17376426 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NPPA gene. Published research associates it with systolic blood pressure (mtag). 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.
