Who was studied 399 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,285 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,488 European ancestry cases, 448,953 European ancestry controls, 204 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,557 Hispanic or Latin American controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2.43 lower (95% confidence interval 2.38-2.47); p = 2 × 10−11.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q25 — in an intron of ALPK1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Corneal ulcer (PheCode 370.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Corneal ulcer (PheCode 370.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Corneal ulcer (PheCode 370.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs556569191
What is rs556569191?
rs556569191 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ALPK1 gene. Published research associates it with corneal ulcer (phecode 370.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs556569191 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Corneal Ulcer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs556569191 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 rs556569191 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.
