Vertical cup-disc ratio

VCAN · rs11746859

What the study found

Who was studied 65,680 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00477 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0034-0.0061); p = 9 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.2 — in an intron of VCAN.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Vertical cup-disc ratio. 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 Vertical cup-disc ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Vertical cup-disc ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11746859

What is rs11746859?

rs11746859 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VCAN gene. Published research associates it with vertical cup-disc ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11746859 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 rs11746859 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2021, PMID:34077760. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
