What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0161 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.02); p = 3 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q25.3 — between genes, 43.6 kb from NHLRC2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (UKB data field 4079). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (UKB data field 4079). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Diastolic blood pressure (UKB data field 4079). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs151597

What is rs151597?

rs151597 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NHLRC2 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure (ukb data field 4079). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs151597 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 rs151597 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 rs151597 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
