Hypertension 1

near TBX20 · rs17607804

What the study found

Who was studied 748 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 4,035 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.58 times the odds of Hypertension 1 (95% confidence interval 0.48-0.71); p = 5 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p14.2 — between genes, 96.5 kb from TBX20.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hypertension 1. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension 1. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension 1. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17607804

What is rs17607804?

rs17607804 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TBX20 gene. Published research associates it with hypertension 1. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17607804 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 rs17607804 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2023, PMID:37821706. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
