What the study found

Who was studied 295,529 European ancestry individuals, 8,231 Latino individuals, 3,058 African American individuals, 2,029 African British individuals, 7,701 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,735 South Asian ancestry individuals, 1,979 mixed and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.296 higher; p = 2 × 10−23.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CDK6.

What ClinVar records

Classification association for Behcet disease; no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2021-11-14. ClinVar record 1321244 NM_001145306.2(CDK6):c.*5310T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 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.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs42034

What is rs42034?

rs42034 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDK6 gene. Published research associates it with pulse pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs42034 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 rs42034 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:27841878. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
