Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG)

MN1 · rs5752638

What the study found

Who was studied 31,135 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.51 lower (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.63); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q12.1 — in an intron of MN1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs5752638

What is rs5752638?

rs5752638 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MN1 gene. Published research associates it with photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs5752638 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 rs5752638 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:36848389. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
