What the study found

Who was studied 115,486 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0931 higher (95% confidence interval 0.064-0.123); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 64% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.1 — in an intron of LOC105377144.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4856961

What is rs4856961?

rs4856961 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LOC105377143 gene. Published research associates it with intraocular pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4856961 linked to?

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

Does having rs4856961 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 rs4856961 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:29617998. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
