Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What the study found
Who was studied 1,603 East Asian ancestry cases, 3,427 East Asian ancestry controls; replicated in 1,241 East Asian ancestry cases, 3,559 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.27 times the odds of Myopia (severe); p = 2 × 10−9.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 76% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.12 — in an intron of SNTB1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Myopia (severe). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Myopia (severe). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Myopia (severe). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs6469937
What is rs6469937?
rs6469937 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SNTB1 gene. Published research associates it with myopia (severe). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6469937 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.
What do people read about alongside rs6469937?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include short-sightedness and screens (8 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs6469937 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 rs6469937 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23933737. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
