Condition: Medication Use as a Genetic Trait
What the study found
Who was studied 62,752 European ancestry cases, 174,778 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0563 lower (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.072); p = 5 × 10−13.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.3 — in an intron of CELSR2.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 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.
rs4970834 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CELSR2 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Medication Use as a Genetic Trait. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
