Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness

near RSPO2 · rs13271359

What the study found

Who was studied 31,434 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.44 lower (95% confidence interval 0.36-0.52); p = 6 × 10−26.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q23.1 — between genes, 18.4 kb from RSPO2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13271359

What is rs13271359?

rs13271359 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RSPO2 gene. Published research associates it with retinal nerve fibre layer (rnfl) thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13271359 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 rs13271359 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2021, PMID:33979322. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
