What the study found

Who was studied 1,028,980 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 62,047 African ancestry individuals, 21,843 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.125 higher (95% confidence interval 0.088-0.162); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q25.1 — inside PFN2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pulse pressure — 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 Pulse pressure.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pulse pressure compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1457553

What is rs1457553?

rs1457553 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PFN2 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 rs1457553 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 rs1457553 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38689001. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
