What the study found

Who was studied 1,164,961 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.2 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.25); p = 1 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — a missense change in CLDN23.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2280560

What is rs2280560?

rs2280560 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CLDN23 gene. Published research associates it with systolic 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 rs2280560 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 rs2280560 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 rs2280560 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:33230300. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
