ADAMTS6 · rs1363900
Where this position leads
Condition: Glaucoma
Strength of the evidence
Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
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 A allele shifted the measure 0.0626 higher (95% confidence interval 0.042-0.084); p = 5 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q12.3 — in an intron of ADAMTS6.
rs1363900 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADAMTS6 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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Glaucoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
