Who was studied 365,998 European ancestry individuals, 63,490 African ancestry individuals, 22,802 Hispanic individuals, 4,792 Asian ancestry individuals, 2,695 Native American ancestry individuals; replicated in 299,024 European ancestry individuals, 17,277 individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.133 mmHg lower (95% confidence interval 0.086-0.179); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — between genes, 9.6 kb from IRS2.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diastolic blood pressure.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7987651
What is rs7987651?
rs7987651 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IRS2 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 rs7987651 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 rs7987651 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 rs7987651 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30578418. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
