What the study found

Who was studied 349,328 British ancestry individuals; replicated in 144,022 European ancestry,African ancestry,Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.04 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.05); p = 4 × 10−21.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.2 — in an intron of WNT2B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72699046

What is rs72699046?

rs72699046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WNT2B 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 rs72699046 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 rs72699046 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 rs72699046 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2024, PMID:38459180. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
