What the study found

Who was studied 17,803 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.63 lower (95% confidence interval 1.13-2.12); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q31.1 — in an intron of STON2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs59397507

What is rs59397507?

rs59397507 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STON2 gene. Published research associates it with central corneal thickness (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs59397507 linked to?

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

Does having rs59397507 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 rs59397507 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JAMA ophthalmology 2022, PMID:35446358. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
