What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Axial length compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2013, PMID:24144296)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Axial length. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2013, PMID:24144296)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Axial length — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2013, PMID:24144296)

Questions about rs12193446

What is rs12193446?

rs12193446 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGAP18 gene. Published research associates it with axial length. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs12193446?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include short-sightedness and screens (3 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs12193446 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 rs12193446 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2013, PMID:24144296. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
