What the study found

Who was studied 115,486 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0908 higher (95% confidence interval 0.058-0.123); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 76% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — in an intron of COL26A1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Intraocular pressure. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Intraocular pressure. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Intraocular pressure. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62465642

What is rs62465642?

rs62465642 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL26A1 gene. Published research associates it with intraocular pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62465642 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 rs62465642 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 rs62465642 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:29617998. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
