What the study found

Who was studied 93,857 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 22,988 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 35,551 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 21,134 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 3,880 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,626 East Asian ancestry controls, 320,429 European ancestry cases, 107,275 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0496 higher (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.062); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.1 — in an intron of FGD5.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Essential hypertension (PheCode 401.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Essential hypertension (PheCode 401.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Essential hypertension (PheCode 401.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6762862

What is rs6762862?

rs6762862 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGD5 gene. Published research associates it with essential hypertension (phecode 401.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6762862 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 rs6762862 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 rs6762862 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
