Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 365,998 European ancestry individuals, 63,490 African ancestry individuals, 22,802 Hispanic individuals, 4,792 Asian ancestry individuals, 2,695 Native American ancestry individuals; replicated in 299,024 European ancestry individuals, 17,277 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.21 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.28); p = 1 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 64% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.3 — in an intron of ARHGEF3.

What each result means

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

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

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

Questions about rs4681794

What is rs4681794?

rs4681794 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGEF3 gene. Published research associates it with systolic 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 rs4681794 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 rs4681794 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 rs4681794 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30578418. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
