Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 28,190 African American individuals, 1,188 Nigerian ancestry individuals; replicated in 69,395 European ancestry individuals, 5,266 African American individuals, 6,497 African ancestry individuals, 19,601 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.61 higher (95% confidence interval 0.34-0.88); p = 2 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.2 — between genes, 28.5 kb from RPL35P4.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.

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

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.
