Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 1,028,980 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 62,047 African ancestry individuals, 21,843 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.126 lower (95% confidence interval 0.089-0.163); p = 2 × 10⁻¹¹.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.2 — in an intron of BNC1.

What each result means

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

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

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

Questions about rs4480763

What is rs4480763?

rs4480763 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BNC1 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic 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 rs4480763 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 rs4480763 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 rs4480763 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38689001. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
