Circulating vasoactive peptide levels

KLKB1 · rs4253238

What the study found

Who was studied 3,444 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,230 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 5.14 pmol/l higher (95% confidence interval 4.71-5.56); p = 1 × 10−122.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q35.2 — in the 5′ untranslated region of KLKB1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Circulating vasoactive peptide levels. 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 Circulating vasoactive peptide levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Circulating vasoactive peptide levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4253238

What is rs4253238?

rs4253238 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KLKB1 gene. Published research associates it with circulating vasoactive peptide levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4253238 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 rs4253238 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979) 2013, PMID:23381795. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
