C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2013, PMID:24165912)
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention). (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2013, PMID:24165912)
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2013, PMID:24165912)
rs8002688 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PIBF1 gene. Published research associates it with blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs8002688 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 rs8002688 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 rs8002688 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2013, PMID:24165912. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
