What the study found

Who was studied 285 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,215 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 660 European ancestry cases, 449,307 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 3.81 lower (95% confidence interval 3.79-3.82); p = 4 × 10−17.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.3 — in an intron of CERS3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Progressive myopia (PheCode 360.2). 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 Progressive myopia (PheCode 360.2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Progressive myopia (PheCode 360.2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs547989689

What is rs547989689?

rs547989689 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CERS3 gene. Published research associates it with progressive myopia (phecode 360.2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs547989689 linked to?

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

Does having rs547989689 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 rs547989689 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
