research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 225,112 European ancestry individuals, 63,490 African ancestry individuals, 22,802 Hispanic individuals, 4,792 Asian ancestry individuals, 2,695 Native American ancestry individuals; replicated in 445,360 individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 14.3 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 11.27-17.4); p = 4 × 10−20.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.1 — in an intron of CACNA1D.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pulse pressure compared to the general population.
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Pulse pressure.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pulse pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs369306257
What is rs369306257?
rs369306257 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CACNA1D 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 rs369306257 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 rs369306257 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30578418. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
