Optic nerve measurement (disc area)

PBLD · rs12571093

What the study found

Who was studied 1,368 European ancestry twins from 666 families; replicated in 848 European ancestry twins from 531 families.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.313 higher (95% confidence interval 0.21-0.42); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.3 — between genes, 0.7 kb from KRT19P4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Optic nerve measurement (disc area). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Optic nerve measurement (disc area). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Optic nerve measurement (disc area). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12571093

What is rs12571093?

rs12571093 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PBLD gene. Published research associates it with optic nerve measurement (disc area). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12571093 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 rs12571093 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2010, PMID:20395239. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
