Orthostatic hypotension

CTNNA2 · rs6736587

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−7, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 667 Korean ancestry cases, 5,761 Korean ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.38 mmHg lower; p = 5 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p12 — inside LOC102724542.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Orthostatic hypotension. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Orthostatic hypotension. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Orthostatic hypotension. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6736587

What is rs6736587?

rs6736587 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTNNA2 gene. Published research associates it with orthostatic hypotension. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6736587 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 rs6736587 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genomics Inform 2013, PMID:24124408. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
