Corneal curvature

TESHL · rs1548942

What the study found

Who was studied 29,580 European ancestry individuals, 14,462 Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 88,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.021 mm higher; p = 5 × 10−50.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q35 — in an intron of TESHL.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1548942

What is rs1548942?

rs1548942 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TESHL gene. Published research associates it with corneal curvature. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1548942 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 rs1548942 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2020, PMID:32193507. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
