What the study found

Who was studied 3,128 East Asian ancestry cases, 5,493 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.29 times the odds of Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (95% confidence interval 1.19-1.39); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q12.12 — in an intron of SPATA13.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4769312

What is rs4769312?

rs4769312 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPATA13 gene. Published research associates it with neovascular 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 rs4769312 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 rs4769312 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 rs4769312 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37696869. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
