What the study found

Who was studied 12,758 European ancestry heavy drinkers, 1,326 African American or Afro-Caribbean heavy drinkers, 648 Asian ancestry heavy drinkers, 364 Hispanic or Latin American heavy drinkers, 43,947 European ancestry light drinkers, 8,239 African American or Afro-Caribbean light drinkers, 1,141 Asian ancestry light drinkers, 4,448 Hispanic or Latin American light drinkers; replicated in 42,079 European ancestry heavy drinkers, 217 African American or Afro-Caribbean heavy drinkers, 282,294 Asian ancestry heavy drinkers, 124 Hispanic ancestry heavy drinkers, 74,757 European ancestry light drinkers, 845 African American light drinkers, 24,129 Asian ancestry light drinkers, 411 Hispanic light drinkers.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−17.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.1 — between genes, 2.3 kb from FURIN.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure x alcohol consumption (light vs heavy) interaction (2df test) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diastolic blood pressure x alcohol consumption (light vs heavy) interaction (2df test).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure x alcohol consumption (light vs heavy) interaction (2df test) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs8029440

What is rs8029440?

rs8029440 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FURIN gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure x alcohol consumption (light vs heavy) interaction (2df test). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8029440 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Blood Pressure, Osteoarthritis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs8029440 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 rs8029440 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2018, PMID:29912962. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
