Spherical equivalent (joint analysis main effects and education interaction)

AREG · rs12511037

Where this position leads

Condition: Myopia

What the study found

Who was studied 2,604 Erasmus Rucphen population isolate individuals, 456 Sardinian population isolate individuals, 36,976 European ancestry individuals, 5,971 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,256 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,088 Indian ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 6 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 91% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.3 — between genes, 14.1 kb from AREG.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Spherical equivalent (joint analysis main effects and education interaction). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Spherical equivalent (joint analysis main effects and education interaction). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Spherical equivalent (joint analysis main effects and education interaction). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12511037

What is rs12511037?

rs12511037 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AREG gene. Published research associates it with spherical equivalent (joint analysis main effects and education interaction). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12511037 linked to?

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

Does having rs12511037 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 rs12511037 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:27020472. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
