near MTRF1LP2 · rs559128832

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 A allele shifted the measure 4.52 mmHg higher (95% confidence interval 3.12-5.93); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — between genes, 5.4 kb from MTRF1LP2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs559128832

What is rs559128832?

rs559128832 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MTRF1LP2 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 rs559128832 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 rs559128832 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.
