What the study found

Who was studied 35,848 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 19,657 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 14,901 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 14,413 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 1,884 East Asian ancestry cases, 1,663 East Asian ancestry controls, 179,356 European ancestry cases, 136,312 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0404 lower (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.051); p = 7 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q28.3 — between genes, 28.5 kb from PCDH18.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Takes medication for high blood pressure?. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Takes medication for high blood pressure?. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Takes medication for high blood pressure?. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

What is rs9685314?

rs9685314 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PCDH18 gene. Published research associates it with takes medication for high 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 rs9685314 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 rs9685314 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 rs9685314 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
