What the study found

Who was studied at least 757,601 European ancestry individuals (MTAG boosted by 455,258 Alzheimer's disease samples).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0158 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.019); p = 1 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — in an intron of SCGN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4712955

What is rs4712955?

rs4712955 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCGN gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4712955 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 rs4712955 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 rs4712955 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39537608. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
