RAI1 · rs11656769
Where this position leads
Condition: Age-Related Macular Degeneration
What the study found
Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00618 lower (95% confidence interval 0.004-0.0084); p = 1 × 10−8.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — in an intron of RAI1.
rs11656769 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAI1 gene. Published research associates it with cholesteryl esters in large hdl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
