What the study found
Who was studied 16,491 European ancestry cases, 1,202,106 European ancestry controls, 5,051 East Asian ancestry cases, 185,362 East Asian ancestry controls, 740 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,993 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 212 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,641 Hispanic or Latin American controls.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0989 lower (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.133); p = 7 × 10−12.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
rs745379 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GATA4 gene. Published research associates it with systemic lupus erythematosus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
