LSP1–TNNT3 · rs661348

Where this position leads

What the study found

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 T allele shifted the measure 0.43 lower (95% confidence interval 0.28-0.58); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — in an intron of LSP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs661348

What is rs661348?

rs661348 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LSP1–TNNT3 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 rs661348 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 rs661348 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 rs661348 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.
