Pulse pressure

near EIF4E · rs145441283

What the study found

Who was studied 670,472 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.061 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.079); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q23 — between genes, 48.1 kb from EIF4E.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Pulse pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Pulse pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs145441283

What is rs145441283?

rs145441283 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EIF4E 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 rs145441283 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 rs145441283 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.
