near TBX2 · rs9907379

Where this position leads

Conditions: Blood Pressure, Osteoarthritis

What the study found

Who was studied 22,566 Japanese ancestry cases, 28,226 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 8,809 East Asian ancestry cases, 13,663 East Asian ancestry controls, 105,253 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0872 lower (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.111); p = 5 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q23.2 — in a non-coding transcript of LINC02875.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hypertension — 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 Hypertension.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hypertension compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9907379

What is rs9907379?

rs9907379 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TBX2 gene. Published research associates it with hypertension. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9907379 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 rs9907379 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 rs9907379 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30487518. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
