What the study found

Who was studied 81,303 European ancestry cases, 349,418 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0391 higher (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.051); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q11.2 — between genes, 3.6 kb from PSMC1P4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs158638

What is rs158638?

rs158638 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PSMC1P4 gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs158638 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Glaucoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs158638 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 rs158638 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
