Added salt consumption

FHIT · rs2736748

What the study found

Who was studied 448,890 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0279 lower (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.033); p = 5 × 10−28.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.2 — in an intron of FHIT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Added salt consumption. 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 Added salt consumption. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Added salt consumption. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2736748

What is rs2736748?

rs2736748 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FHIT gene. Published research associates it with added salt consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2736748 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 rs2736748 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32193382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
