What the study found

Who was studied 517 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,668 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,789 European ancestry cases, 444,434 European ancestry controls, 222 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,037 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 2.93 lower (95% confidence interval 2.9-2.96); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.1 — in an intron of KLF17.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Superficial keratitis (PheCode 370.2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Superficial keratitis (PheCode 370.2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Superficial keratitis (PheCode 370.2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs189464266

What is rs189464266?

rs189464266 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KLF17 gene. Published research associates it with superficial keratitis (phecode 370.2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs189464266 linked to?

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

Does having rs189464266 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 rs189464266 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.
