What the study found

Who was studied 757,601 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 249,262 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.191 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.24); p = 8 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.3 — between genes, 0.4 kb from ZMAT2.

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 rs702395

What is rs702395?

rs702395 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZMAT2 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 rs702395 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 rs702395 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 rs702395 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:30224653. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
