What the study found

Who was studied 10,411 European ancestry cases, 474,568 European ancestry controls, 8,448 East Asian ancestry cases, 168,903 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.128 lower (95% confidence interval 0.092-0.164); p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.3 — between genes, 36.7 kb from PKHD1.

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 rs2495850

What is rs2495850?

rs2495850 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PKHD1 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 rs2495850 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 rs2495850 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 rs2495850 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
