Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 5,612 East Asian ancestry cases, 12,451 East Asian ancestry controls, 337 Indian ancestry cases, 2,538 Indian ancestry controls, 576 European ancestry cases, 4,940 European ancestry controls; replicated in 430 European ancestry cases, 3,133 European ancestry controls, 90 Nepalese ancestry cases, 205 Nepalese ancestry controls, 2,340 East Asian ancestry cases, 3,865 East Asian ancestry controls, 628 South Asian ancestry cases, 552 South Asian ancestry controls, 99 Latin American cases, 224 Latin American controls, 391 Saudi Arabian ancestry cases, 1,659 Saudi Arabian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.15 times the odds of Glaucoma (primary angle closure); p = 8 × 10⁻¹².

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.11 — between genes, 0.4 kb from EEIG1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary angle closure). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary angle closure). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary angle closure). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3739821

What is rs3739821?

rs3739821 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DPM2 gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary angle closure). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3739821 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 rs3739821 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 rs3739821 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2016, PMID:27064256. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
