What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Refractive error — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Refractive error.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Refractive error compared to the general population.

Questions about rs17183295

What is rs17183295?

rs17183295 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYO1D 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 rs17183295 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 rs17183295 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23396134. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
