What the study found

Who was studied 6,861 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 48,644 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,207 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 27,107 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 329 East Asian ancestry cases, 3,218 East Asian ancestry controls, 20,090 European ancestry cases, 295,578 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.105 higher (95% confidence interval 0.073-0.138); p = 4 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.3 — between genes, 36.3 kb from RPS15AP20.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2439035

What is rs2439035?

rs2439035 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPS15AP20 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 rs2439035 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 rs2439035 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 rs2439035 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.
