What the study found

Who was studied 275,793 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.454 higher (95% confidence interval 0.31-0.6); p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.32 — in an intron of PRDM16.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure (standard GWA). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure (standard GWA). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Systolic blood pressure (standard GWA). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6657675

What is rs6657675?

rs6657675 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM16 gene. Published research associates it with systolic blood pressure (standard gwa). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6657675 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 rs6657675 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 rs6657675 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2023, PMID:37106081. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
