What the study found

Who was studied 34,453 European ancestry cases, 194,633 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0877 higher (95% confidence interval 0.072-0.103); p = 2 × 10−28.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.33 — between genes, 142.7 kb from RPS4XP9.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Medication use (diuretics) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Medication use (diuretics).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Medication use (diuretics) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9375459

What is rs9375459?

rs9375459 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-73O6.4 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (diuretics). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9375459 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Medication Use as a Genetic Trait. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs9375459 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 rs9375459 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31015401. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
