Corneal curvature

near BZW1P1 · rs485554

What the study found

Who was studied 29,580 European ancestry individuals, 14,462 Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 88,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.012 mm lower; p = 2 × 10−27.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.31 — between genes, 6.3 kb from BZW1P1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs485554

What is rs485554?

rs485554 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BZW1P1 gene. Published research associates it with corneal curvature. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs485554 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 rs485554 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2020, PMID:32193507. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
