What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Central corneal thickness compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Central corneal thickness.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Central corneal thickness — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs3808520

What is rs3808520?

rs3808520 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LOXL2 gene. Published research associates it with central corneal thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3808520 linked to?

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

Does having rs3808520 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 rs3808520 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29760442. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
