Primary aldosteronism

near RXFP2 · rs2025908

What the study found

Who was studied 339 European ancestry male cases, 639 European ancestry male controls; replicated in 380 European ancestry male cases, 1,228 European ancestry male controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.71 times the odds of Primary aldosteronism (95% confidence interval 1.49-1.96); p = 2 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q13.1 — between genes, 87.3 kb from RXFP2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2025908

What is rs2025908?

rs2025908 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RXFP2 gene. Published research associates it with primary aldosteronism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2025908 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 rs2025908 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36057693. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
