What the study found

Who was studied 3,183 European ancestry cases, 773,214 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q11.23 — in an intron of PXDNL.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary angle closure). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary angle closure). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary angle closure). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11984688

What is rs11984688?

rs11984688 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PXDNL gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary angle closure). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11984688 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 rs11984688 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 rs11984688 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41238566. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
