near HMGB3P18 · rs187207161

What the study found

Who was studied 670,472 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0565 lower (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.074); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q22.31 — between genes, 159.4 kb from HMGB3P18.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Pulse pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Pulse pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs187207161

What is rs187207161?

rs187207161 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HMGB3P18 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 rs187207161 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 rs187207161 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:33230300. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
