What the study found

Who was studied 7,947 British ancestry cases, 119,318 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.14 times the odds of Glaucoma; p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 63% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.3 — in an intron of LMX1B-DT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2275241

What is rs2275241?

rs2275241 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LMX1B gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2275241 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 rs2275241 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 rs2275241 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2020, PMID:31959993. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
