near POT1-AS1 · rs185811454

What the study found

Who was studied 677 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,041 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 711 European ancestry cases, 450,427 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 3.12 lower (95% confidence interval 3.1-3.15); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.33 — between genes, 45.2 kb from POT1-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hyperaldosteronism (PheCode 255.12) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hyperaldosteronism (PheCode 255.12).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hyperaldosteronism (PheCode 255.12) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs185811454

What is rs185811454?

rs185811454 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near POT1-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with hyperaldosteronism (phecode 255.12). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs185811454 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 rs185811454 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
