MAP4 · rs319690

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 74,064 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 48,607 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.297 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.20-0.40); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in an intron of MAP4.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood pressure. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs319690

What is rs319690?

rs319690 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAP4 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs319690 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 rs319690 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 rs319690 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21909110. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
