Questions about rs7406910

What is rs7406910?

rs7406910 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOXB7 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 rs7406910 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 rs7406910 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 rs7406910 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27618447. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
