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

Questions about rs17428471
What is rs17428471?
rs17428471 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOXA gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs17428471 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 rs17428471 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 rs17428471 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2013, PMID:23972371. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
