A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Systolic blood pressure compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Systolic blood pressure.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Systolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs894344
What is rs894344?
rs894344 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFAT gene. Published research associates it with systolic 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 rs894344 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 rs894344 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 rs894344 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28135244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
