What the study found

Who was studied 28,092 non-Hispanic White ancestry cases, 50,487 non-Hispanic White ancestry controls, 31,852 European ancestry cases, 428,084 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.2 — between genes, 203 kb from LINC02349.

What each result means

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

What conditions is rs12901945 linked to?

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

Does having rs12901945 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 rs12901945 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34127677. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
