near LYPLAL1-AS1 · rs4846567

What the study found

Who was studied 1,164,961 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.193 mmHg lower (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.23); p = 1 × 10−28.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q41 — between genes, 27.5 kb from LYPLAL1-AS1.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pulse pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/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 (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pulse pressure compared to the general population.

Questions about rs4846567

What is rs4846567?

rs4846567 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LYPLAL1-AS1 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 rs4846567 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 rs4846567 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.
