Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied up to 165,276 European ancestry individuals, up to 27,487 South Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 125,713 European ancestry individuals, up to 2,641 South Asian ancestry individuals, 4,632 Hispanic individuals, 22,077 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.167 mmHg lower (95% confidence interval -); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.13 — in an intron of PREX1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Diastolic blood 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 Diastolic blood pressure.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Diastolic blood pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6095241

What is rs6095241?

rs6095241 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PREX1 gene. Published research associates it with diastolic blood pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6095241 linked to?

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

Does having rs6095241 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 rs6095241 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27618447. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
