Where this position leads

Condition: Myopia

What the study found

Who was studied 41,073 European ancestry individuals, 2,610 Erasmus Rucphen (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 509 Talana (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 15,044 East Asian ancestry individuals, 2,275 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,110 Indian ancestry individuals, 2,506 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0869 higher (95% confidence interval 0.058-0.116); p = 7 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q23.33 — between genes, 6.3 kb from XRCC6P1.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Spherical equivalent. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Spherical equivalent. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Spherical equivalent. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55684140

What is rs55684140?

rs55684140 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MYOF gene. Published research associates it with spherical equivalent. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs55684140 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 rs55684140 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 rs55684140 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29808027. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
