What the study found

Who was studied 1,850 Han Chinese ancestry individuals; replicated in 660 Han Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2.04 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 1.37-2.71); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q22.1 — in an intron of PIBF1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood pressure measurement (low sodium intervention). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs8002688

What is rs8002688?

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.
