near ZNF462 · rs568998724

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 19,546 British ancestry individuals from 6863 families..

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 13.5 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 8.72-18.26); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.2 — in an intron of LOC340512.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diastolic blood pressure.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs568998724

What is rs568998724?

rs568998724 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZNF462 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 rs568998724 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 rs568998724 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 rs568998724 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome Med 2017, PMID:28270201. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
