What the study found

Who was studied 94,292 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 22,643 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 35,766 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 20,913 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 3,903 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,607 East Asian ancestry controls, 322,448 European ancestry cases, 105,690 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.378 higher (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.53); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p12.33 — in an intron of CACNB2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Hypertension (PheCode 401). 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 Hypertension (PheCode 401). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension (PheCode 401). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73593734

What is rs73593734?

rs73593734 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CACNB2 gene. Published research associates it with hypertension (phecode 401). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73593734 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 rs73593734 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 rs73593734 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.
