Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG)

ELP4-AS1 · rs1016934

What the study found

Who was studied 31,135 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.39 lower (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.51); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p13 — in an intron of ELP4-AS1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1016934

What is rs1016934?

rs1016934 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELP4-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1016934 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 rs1016934 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:36848389. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
