What the study found

Who was studied 1,164,961 European ancestry individuals, 84,359 African American individuals, 33,689 South Asian ancestry individuals, 27,388 Hispanic individuals, 2,695 Native American ancestry individuals, 4,792 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.118 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.077-0.16); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q12.3 — between genes, 93.4 kb from RN7SKP135.

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 rs7000642

What is rs7000642?

rs7000642 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SKP135 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 rs7000642 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 rs7000642 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 rs7000642 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:33230300. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
