Retinal vascular fractal density

TMEM161B-DT · rs17547627

What the study found

Who was studied 38,932 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.143 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.18); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.3 — in an intron of TMEM161B-DT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17547627

What is rs17547627?

rs17547627 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM161B-DT gene. Published research associates it with retinal vascular fractal density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17547627 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 rs17547627 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation 2022, PMID:34743558. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
