LINC01572 · rs62052953

What the study found

Who was studied 526,001 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.37 lower (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.48); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.2 — in an intron of LINC01572.

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 rs62052953

What is rs62052953?

rs62052953 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01572 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 rs62052953 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 rs62052953 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 2022, PMID:35762941. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
