Epiretinal membrane

near BCR · rs4822369

What the study found

Who was studied 31,374 European ancestry cases, 414,052 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0571 higher (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.076); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.23 — between genes, 5.1 kb from BCR.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4822369

What is rs4822369?

rs4822369 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BCR gene. Published research associates it with epiretinal membrane. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4822369 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 rs4822369 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2024, PMID:38870908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
