Rs10495584

The minor (G) allele of SNP rs10495584 was associated with lower mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures in men (121.1 +/- 14.2 and 76.3 +/- 10.2 mm Hg vs. 127.4 +/- 15.2 and 80.1 +/- 10.5 mm Hg, P = 0.002 and 0.007, respectively), but not in women (P > 0.05), and remained significant after correction for numerous other factors. However, its effect may be caused by a nearby, tightly linked SNP, rs11524.
