Where this position leads

Condition: Myopia

What the study found

Who was studied 41,073 European ancestry individuals, 2,610 Erasmus Rucphen (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 509 Talana (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 15,044 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,275 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,110 Indian ancestry individuals, 2,506 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0972 lower (95% confidence interval 0.07-0.125); p = 6 × 10⁻¹².

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.2 — in an intron of LINC02942.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Spherical equivalent — no copies of the reported risk allele.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Spherical equivalent.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Spherical equivalent compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2017760

What is rs2017760?

rs2017760 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CD55 gene. Published research associates it with spherical equivalent. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2017760 linked to?

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

Does having rs2017760 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 rs2017760 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29808027. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
