What the study found

Who was studied 119,334 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 57,991 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,422 East Asian ancestry individuals, 425,750 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0197 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.025); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.2 — between genes, 15.6 kb from LINC02295.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs79972137

What is rs79972137?

rs79972137 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02295 gene. Published research associates it with systolic blood pressure (sbp, maximum, 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 rs79972137 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 rs79972137 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 rs79972137 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.
