What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Keratoconus — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Keratoconus.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Keratoconus compared to the general population.

Questions about rs116792882

What is rs116792882?

rs116792882 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRP1B 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 rs116792882 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 rs116792882 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 rs116792882 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.
