Corneal endothelial cell density

TCF4 · rs144033370

What the study found

Who was studied 6,125 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.502 lower; p = 6 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — in an intron of TCF4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Corneal endothelial cell density. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Corneal endothelial cell density. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Corneal endothelial cell density. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs144033370

What is rs144033370?

rs144033370 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCF4 gene. Published research associates it with corneal endothelial cell density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs144033370 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 rs144033370 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30894546. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
