Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness

FRMD4B · rs62252355

What the study found

Who was studied 31,434 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.37 lower (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.47); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p14.1 — inside FRMD4B.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62252355

What is rs62252355?

rs62252355 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FRMD4B gene. Published research associates it with retinal nerve fibre layer (rnfl) thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62252355 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 rs62252355 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2021, PMID:33979322. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
