Retinal arteriolar tortuosity

PPP1R12A-AS2 · rs12827748

What the study found

Who was studied 52,798 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,987 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.033 higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.039); p = 1 × 10−27.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q21.2 — in an intron of PPP1R12A-AS2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12827748

What is rs12827748?

rs12827748 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPP1R12A-AS2 gene. Published research associates it with retinal arteriolar tortuosity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12827748 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 rs12827748 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:36757925. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
