What the study found

Who was studied at least 29,241 European ancestry cases, at least 350,181 European ancestry controls (MTAG boosted by vertical cup-to-disc ratio and intraocular pressure samples), 6,935 Asian ancestry cases, 39,588 Asian ancestry controls, 3,281 African ancestry cases, 2,791 African ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.086 higher (95% confidence interval 0.063-0.109); p = 8 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.2 — in an intron of MECOM.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Primary open angle glaucoma (multi-trait analysis). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Primary open angle glaucoma (multi-trait analysis). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Primary open angle glaucoma (multi-trait analysis). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs13090630

What is rs13090630?

rs13090630 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MECOM gene. Published research associates it with primary open angle glaucoma (multi-trait analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs13090630 linked to?

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

Does having rs13090630 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 rs13090630 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37386247. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
