Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.2 — between genes, 58 kb from RRN3P4.
rs1490949 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RRN3P4 gene. Published research associates it with cataracts. 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 Cataract. 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.
