Pulse pressure

near FIGN · rs1595386

What the study found

Who was studied 349,328 British ancestry individuals; replicated in 144,022 European ancestry,African ancestry,Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.03 higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.04); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.3 — between genes, 159 kb from FIGN.

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 rs1595386

What is rs1595386?

rs1595386 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FIGN 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 rs1595386 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 rs1595386 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2024, PMID:38459180. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
