Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 89,579 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0315 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.042); p = 4 × 10⁻¹⁰.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p22 — in an intron of MTUS1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Vertical cup-disc ratio compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Vertical cup-disc ratio.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Vertical cup-disc ratio — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11203888

What is rs11203888?

rs11203888 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MTUS1 gene. Published research associates it with vertical cup-disc ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11203888 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 rs11203888 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:34077760. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
