What the research says The rs12195741 variant in the ESR1 gene is linked to peripheral arterial disease based on a GWAS catalog study PMID 27082954.

Reported associations Peripheral arterial disease this variant is associated with higher risk in about 2000 individuals with a reported effect size of 2.5 p=6e-6 [PMID 27082954].

Evidence quality The evidence comes from a single GWAS catalog association in roughly 2000 participants reporting an effect size of 2.5 p=6e-6 [PMID 27082954]. No conflicting findings reported.

No lifestyle considerations on file for this variant.

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • PAD risk and air pollution exposure assessment Moderate

    ESR1 variant associated with 2.5-fold increased PAD risk, particularly in high air pollution

    Review baseline cardiovascular assessment and air pollution exposure levels

Lifestyle

  • prolonged traffic-related air pollution exposure Moderate

    Traffic air pollution amplifies PAD risk conferred by ESR1 rs12195741 G allele

    Limit time in high-traffic areas; use air filtration in home and car on high pollution days

Screening

  • peripheral arterial disease screening Moderate

    G allele confers 2.5-fold PAD risk; effect magnified by traffic-related air pollution

    Discuss baseline ankle-brachial index or lower extremity ultrasound with physician
