Who was studied 39,519 European ancestry cases, 452,358 European ancestry controls, 38,194 East Asian ancestry cases, 140,532 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.155 lower (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.211); p = 5 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q14.1 — in an intron of LINC02388.
What each result means
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cataracts — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cataracts.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cataracts compared to the general population.
rs117441875 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02388 gene. Published research associates it with cataracts. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs117441875 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cataract. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs117441875 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 rs117441875 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
