Pulse pressure

near Y_RNA · rs13196885

What the study found

Who was studied 1,164,961 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.124 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 0.094-0.155); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.2 — between genes, 7.9 kb from Y_RNA.

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 rs13196885

What is rs13196885?

rs13196885 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near Y_RNA 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.

Does having rs13196885 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 rs13196885 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:33230300. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
