Where this position leads

Condition: Blood Pressure

rs62064990 Condition: Blood Pressure Blood Pressure Condition rs62064990 rs62064990 SKAP1

What the study found

Who was studied 526,001 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.605 lower (95% confidence interval 0.42-0.79); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in an intron of SKAP1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Systolic 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 Systolic blood pressure.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Systolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs62064990

What is rs62064990?

rs62064990 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SKAP1 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 rs62064990 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 rs62064990 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 rs62064990 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 2022, PMID:35762941. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
