Questions about rs116503776

What is rs116503776?

rs116503776 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C2 gene. Published research associates it with disease progression in age-related macular degeneration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs116503776 linked to?

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

Does having rs116503776 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 rs116503776 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:29346644. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
