Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−18, with 3 associations in the GWAS Catalog.
How this is scored
4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.
What the study found
Who was studied 1,495,159 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0107 SD unit lower (95% confidence interval 0.0075-0.0138); p = 3 × 10−11.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.3 — in an intron of IGF1R.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Refractive error. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Refractive error. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Refractive error. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs59350108
What is rs59350108?
rs59350108 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IGF1R gene. Published research associates it with refractive error. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs59350108 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Myopia. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs59350108 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 rs59350108 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42009823. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
