What the study found

Who was studied 2,116 European ancestry cases, 24,626 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1, 389 European ancestry cases, 79,727 European ancestry controls, 759 South Asian ancestry cases, 8,009 South Asian ancestry controls, 405 African ancestry cases, 4,185 African ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.146 lower (95% confidence interval 0.099-0.193); p = 8 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.2 — in an intron of TNFAIP8L3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Keratoconus. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Keratoconus. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Keratoconus. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11634895

What is rs11634895?

rs11634895 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AP4E1 gene. Published research associates it with keratoconus. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11634895 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Keratoconus. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11634895 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 rs11634895 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Commun Biol 2021, PMID:33649486. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
