What the study found

Who was studied 119,331 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,988 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,420 East Asian ancestry individuals, 425,740 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0284 higher (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.034); p = 1 × 10−20.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.13 — between genes, 153.5 kb from HNF4G.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to systolic blood pressure (SBP, mean, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to systolic blood pressure (SBP, mean, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to systolic blood pressure (SBP, mean, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1988174

What is rs1988174?

rs1988174 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HNF4G gene. Published research associates it with systolic blood pressure (sbp, mean, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1988174 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 rs1988174 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 rs1988174 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.
