RARB · rs1286771

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 139,555 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.112 higher (95% confidence interval 0.075-0.149); p = 5 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p24.2 — in an intron of RARB.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Intraocular pressure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Intraocular pressure.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Intraocular pressure compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1286771

What is rs1286771?

rs1286771 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RARB gene. Published research associates it with intraocular pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1286771 linked to?

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

Does having rs1286771 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 rs1286771 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29785010. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
