Color vision defects (Tritan)

TLN2 · rs142163046

What the study found

Who was studied 12 Silk Road (founder/genetic isolate) cases, 508 Silk Road (founder/genetic isolate) controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.251 lower (95% confidence interval 0.18-0.33); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.2 — in an intron of TLN2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Color vision defects (Tritan). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Color vision defects (Tritan). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Color vision defects (Tritan). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs142163046

What is rs142163046?

rs142163046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TLN2 gene. Published research associates it with color vision defects (tritan). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs142163046 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 rs142163046 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in genetics 2023, PMID:37359372. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
