Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 52 South Asian ancestry cases, 8,378 South Asian ancestry controls, 243 Admixed American ancestry cases, 9,103 Admixed American ancestry controls, 483 African ancestry cases, 26,323 African ancestry controls, 9,715 East Asian ancestry cases, 260,245 East Asian ancestry controls, 16,355 European ancestry cases, 1,156,550 European ancestry controls; replicated in 356 African ancestry cases, 9,168 African ancestry controls, 385 European ancestry cases, 34,351 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.116 higher (95% confidence interval 0.095-0.137); p = 4 × 10⁻²⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.1 — in an intron of AFAP1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17833038

What is rs17833038?

rs17833038 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFAP1 gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary open-angle). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17833038 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 rs17833038 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 rs17833038 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2022, PMID:36777996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
