What the study found

Who was studied up to 201,529 European ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 140,886 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.231 mm Hg higher (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.3); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.2 — between genes, 163.5 kb from KRT18P16.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure. 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 Diastolic blood pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6891344

What is rs6891344?

rs6891344 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CSNK1G3 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic 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 rs6891344 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 rs6891344 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 rs6891344 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27618452. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
