Questions about rs2073017

What is rs2073017?

rs2073017 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASZ1 gene. Published research associates it with cataracts. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2073017 linked to?

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

Does having rs2073017 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 rs2073017 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34127677. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
