What the study found

Who was studied 119,332 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,990 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,421 East Asian ancestry individuals, 425,743 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0449 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.057); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in an intron of ZSCAN16-AS1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to diastolic blood pressure (DBP, mean, inv-normal transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to diastolic blood pressure (DBP, mean, inv-normal transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to diastolic blood pressure (DBP, mean, inv-normal transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72848791

What is rs72848791?

rs72848791 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZSCAN16-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure (dbp, mean, inv-normal transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72848791 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 rs72848791 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 rs72848791 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.
