A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Diastolic blood pressure.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17037390
What is rs17037390?
rs17037390 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MTHFR gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood 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 rs17037390 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 rs17037390 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 rs17037390 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27618452. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
