Left eye overall retinal pigment epithelium thickness

GOLGA8F · rs551348273

What the study found

Who was studied 29,550 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.08 higher; p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q13.1 — in an intron of GOLGA8F.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Left eye overall retinal pigment epithelium thickness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Left eye overall retinal pigment epithelium thickness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Left eye overall retinal pigment epithelium thickness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs551348273

What is rs551348273?

rs551348273 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GOLGA8F gene. Published research associates it with left eye overall retinal pigment epithelium thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs551348273 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 rs551348273 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Pigment cell & melanoma research 2025, PMID:40650424. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
