What the study found

Who was studied 15,117 European ancestry individuals, 2,131 Erasmus Rucphen Family individuals, 2,405 Chinese ancestry individuals, 2,305 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,131 Indian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.033 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.043); p = 6 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% 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 Optic disc area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Optic disc area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Optic disc area. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11031436

What is rs11031436?

rs11031436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ELP4 gene. Published research associates it with optic disc area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11031436 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 rs11031436 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genetic epidemiology 2015, PMID:25631615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
