LINC02931 · rs113485657

What the study found

Who was studied 43,148 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,179 Central or South Asian individuals, 1,161 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.665 higher (95% confidence interval 0.52-0.81); p = 2 × 10−19.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq26.3 — in an intron of LINC02931.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (pixel 118_245). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (pixel 118_245). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (pixel 118_245). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs113485657

What is rs113485657?

rs113485657 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02931 gene. Published research associates it with retinal thickness (pixel 118_245). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs113485657 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 rs113485657 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:39904976. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
