near RPL39P33 · rs151278468

What the study found

Who was studied 33,483 Japanese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.397 lower (95% confidence interval 0.31-0.48); p = 5 × 10−25.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — between genes, 16 kb from RPL39P33.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Axial length. 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 Axial length. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Axial length. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs151278468

What is rs151278468?

rs151278468 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL39P33 gene. Published research associates it with axial length. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs151278468 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 rs151278468 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2022, PMID:36246171. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
