ACE · rs4343
Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 400 Han Chinese ancestry hypertensive cases; replicated in 623 Han Chinese ancestry hypertensive cases.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 16.2 higher; p = 3 × 10−25.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.3 — a synonymous change in ACE.

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 people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs4343 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACE gene. Published research associates it with angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (12 papers), kidneys (4 papers), exercise and muscle (3 papers), blood sugar and insulin (3 papers), running and endurance (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
