Who was studied 130,777 Japanese ancestry individuals; replicated in 53,008 East Asian individuals, 105,253 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.271 lower (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.35); p = 2 × 10−10.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of JPH2.
What each result means
A/APublished 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/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diastolic blood pressure.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6031431
What is rs6031431?
rs6031431 is a single position in the genome, in or near the JPH2 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 rs6031431 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 rs6031431 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 rs6031431 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30487518. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
