Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 150,134 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 87,359 European ancestry individuals, 140,886 European and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.364 lower (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.47); p = 3 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.3 — between genes, 170.4 kb from PRPS1P1.

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 rs16849211

What is rs16849211?

rs16849211 is a single position in the genome, in or near the 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.

What conditions is rs16849211 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 rs16849211 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 rs16849211 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hypertension 2017, PMID:28739976. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
