What the study found

Who was studied 57,290 European ancestry cases, 324,430 European ancestry controls, 2,302 African American cases, 29,223 African American controls, 1,656 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 10,819 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0441 higher (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.059); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p12.1 — between genes, 41.4 kb from ARHGAP21.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. 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 Age-related macular degeneration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4570483

What is rs4570483?

rs4570483 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ARHGAP21 gene. Published research associates it with age-related macular degeneration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4570483 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4570483 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 rs4570483 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39623103. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
