near RNU6-21P · rs577196812

What the study found

Who was studied 262 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,656 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,194 European ancestry cases, 450,001 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 3.9 lower (95% confidence interval 3.89-3.92); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q21 — between genes, 2.6 kb from RNU6-21P.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cornea replaced by transplant (PheCode 364.9). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cornea replaced by transplant (PheCode 364.9). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cornea replaced by transplant (PheCode 364.9). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs577196812

What is rs577196812?

rs577196812 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-21P gene. Published research associates it with cornea replaced by transplant (phecode 364.9). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs577196812 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 rs577196812 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.
