C14orf39 · rs146737847

What the study found

Who was studied 51,624 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.302 lower (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.37); p = 2 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.1 — a missense change in C14orf39.

What ClinVar records

Classification Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity for Colobomatous optic disc-macular atrophy-chorioretinopathy syndrome, Anophthalmia/microphthalmia-esophageal atresia syndrome, Anophthalmia-microphthalmia syndrome, SIX6-related disorder; criteria provided, conflicting classifications (1 of 4 stars, 6 submitters), last evaluated 2026-01-27. ClinVar record 445796 NM_007374.3(SIX6):c.385G>A (p.Glu129Lys)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs146737847

What is rs146737847?

rs146737847 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C14orf39 gene. Published research associates it with refractive error. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs146737847 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 rs146737847 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2022, PMID:35022715. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
