What the study found

Who was studied 101,939 European ancestry cases.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.13 higher (95% confidence interval 0.091-0.169); p = 9 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.1 — between genes, 63.5 kb from ADAMTS18.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Intraocular pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Intraocular pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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 rs55932951

What is rs55932951?

rs55932951 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ADAMTS18 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 rs55932951 linked to?

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

Does having rs55932951 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 rs55932951 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JAMA ophthalmology 2020, PMID:32352494. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
