Condition: Cataract

rs56029302 Condition: Cataract Cataract Condition rs56029302 rs56029302 CDC42BPA

What the study found

Who was studied 8,261 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 47,244 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 5,591 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 23,723 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 775 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,772 East Asian ancestry controls, 90,768 European ancestry cases, 224,900 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0476 lower (95% confidence interval 0.036-0.059); p = 1 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.13 — in an intron of CDC42BPA.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cataracts — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cataracts.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cataracts compared to the general population.

Questions about rs56029302

What is rs56029302?

rs56029302 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDC42BPA gene. Published research associates it with cataracts. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs56029302 linked to?

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

Does having rs56029302 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 rs56029302 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.
