Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
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 1,028,980 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 62,047 African ancestry individuals, 21,843 African American individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.115 higher (95% confidence interval 0.082-0.149); p = 2 × 10−11.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.23 — a missense change in KIAA1755.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pulse pressure compared to the general population.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Pulse pressure.
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pulse pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs3746471
What is rs3746471?
rs3746471 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KIAA1755 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 rs3746471 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 rs3746471 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38689001. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
