Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 89,579 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0645 higher (95% confidence interval 0.046-0.083); p = 5 × 10−15.
Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — between genes, 3.8 kb from HERC4.
What each result means
G/GTwo 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.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Vertical cup-disc ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Vertical cup-disc ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
American journal of human genetics · 2021 · PMID 34077760 · open access
Questions about rs117479359
What is rs117479359?
rs117479359 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HERC4 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 rs117479359 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 rs117479359 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.
