Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.011 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0081-0.0139); p = 2 × 10−13.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.21 — in an intron of SLC20A2.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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 rs2978456
What is rs2978456?
rs2978456 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC20A2 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 rs2978456 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 rs2978456 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 rs2978456 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
