Hypertension

FGD5 · rs58244401

Where this position leads

Condition: Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

What the study found

Who was studied 22,566 Japanese ancestry cases, 28,226 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 8,809 East Asian ancestry cases, 13,663 East Asian ancestry controls, 105,253 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0902 higher (95% confidence interval 0.066-0.115); p = 3 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.1 — in an intron of FGD5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hypertension. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hypertension. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs58244401

What is rs58244401?

rs58244401 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGD5 gene. Published research associates it with hypertension. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs58244401 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs58244401 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 rs58244401 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2018, PMID:30487518. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
