Questions about rs11969985

What is rs11969985?

rs11969985 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GMDS gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary open-angle). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11969985 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Glaucoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11969985 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 rs11969985 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2014, PMID:25173105. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
