What the study found

Who was studied 295,529 European ancestry individuals, 8,231 Latino individuals, 3,058 African American individuals, 2,029 African British individuals, 7,701 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,735 South Asian ancestry individuals, 1,979 mixed and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.193 higher; p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q11.2 — inside HOMEZ.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12050260

What is rs12050260?

rs12050260 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOMEZ gene. Published research associates it with pulse 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 rs12050260 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 rs12050260 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 rs12050260 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27841878. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
