research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 43,151 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,179 Central or South Asian individuals, 1,161 African ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 18.1 higher (95% confidence interval 12.99-23.24); p = 4 × 10−12.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.2 — in an intron of SLC16A1.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (functional principal component 4). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (functional principal component 4). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (functional principal component 4). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs55992320
What is rs55992320?
rs55992320 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC16A1 gene. Published research associates it with retinal thickness (functional principal component 4). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs55992320 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 rs55992320 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:39904976. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
