What the study found

Who was studied 28,092 non-Hispanic White ancestry cases, 50,487 non-Hispanic White ancestry controls, 31,852 European ancestry cases, 428,084 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.061 higher (95% confidence interval 0.046-0.076); p = 6 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.3 — between genes, 9.1 kb from CPT1A.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cataracts compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cataracts.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cataracts — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs610442

What is rs610442?

rs610442 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CPT1A gene. Published research associates it with cataracts. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs610442 linked to?

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

Does having rs610442 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 rs610442 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34127677. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
