Who was studied 1,495,159 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0113 SD unit higher (95% confidence interval 0.008-0.0146); p = 3 × 10−11.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.3 — in an intron of SCN2A.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Refractive error. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Refractive error. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62176243
What is rs62176243?
rs62176243 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCN2A 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 rs62176243 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 rs62176243 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 rs62176243 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.
