What the study found

Who was studied 41,073 European ancestry individuals, 2,610 Erasmus Rucphen (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 509 Talana (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 15,044 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,275 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,110 Indian ancestry individuals, 2,506 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0904 lower (95% confidence interval 0.06-0.121); p = 7 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.2 — in an intron of LOC107985251.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1346720

What is rs1346720?

rs1346720 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near C4BPA gene. Published research associates it with spherical equivalent. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1346720 linked to?

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

Does having rs1346720 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 rs1346720 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29808027. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
