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 T allele shifted the measure 0.0106 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0072-0.0139); p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.2 — in an intron of FOSL2.

What each result means

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.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs6547850

What is rs6547850?

rs6547850 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOSL2 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 rs6547850 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 rs6547850 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 rs6547850 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.
