Corneal curvature

THBS4-AS1 · rs13180294

What the study found

Who was studied 29,580 European ancestry individuals, 14,462 Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 88,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.015 mm lower; p = 2 × 10−22.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.1 — in an intron of THBS4-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Corneal curvature. 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 Corneal curvature. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Corneal curvature. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs13180294

What is rs13180294?

rs13180294 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THBS4-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with corneal curvature. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13180294 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 rs13180294 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2020, PMID:32193507. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
