What the study found

Who was studied 20,373 European ancestry individuals, 2,131 Erasmus Rucphen (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 7,302 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.023 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.031); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.1 — between genes, 14.5 kb from SALRNA1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34935520

What is rs34935520?

rs34935520 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIX6 gene. Published research associates it with optic disc area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs34935520 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 rs34935520 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 rs34935520 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28073927. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
