What the study found

Who was studied 13,552 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 105,042 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,857 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 56,071 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 312 East Asian ancestry cases, 6,452 East Asian ancestry controls, 20,091 European ancestry cases, 424,364 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.112 lower (95% confidence interval 0.084-0.141); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q14.2 — in an intron of ME3.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Primary open angle glaucoma (PheCode 365.11). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Primary open angle glaucoma (PheCode 365.11). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Primary open angle glaucoma (PheCode 365.11). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs60229086

What is rs60229086?

rs60229086 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ME3 gene. Published research associates it with primary open angle glaucoma (phecode 365.11). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs60229086 linked to?

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

Does having rs60229086 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 rs60229086 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.
