MYL2 · rs3782889
Where this position leads
Condition: Resistant Hypertension
What the study found
Who was studied 8,178 Korean ancestry cases, 9,558 Korean ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 0.84 times the odds of Hypertension (95% confidence interval 0.79-0.89); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.11 — in an intron of MYL2.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
rs3782889 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYL2 gene. Published research associates it with hypertension. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Resistant Hypertension. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
