What the study found

Who was studied 4,987 Iberian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.231 lower (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.3); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q13.1 — in an intron of OCA2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs35934407

What is rs35934407?

rs35934407 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OCA2 gene. Published research associates it with eye color. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs35934407 linked to?

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

Does having rs35934407 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 rs35934407 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genes 2023, PMID:36672889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
