What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Myopia (severe) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23933737)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Myopia (severe). (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23933737)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Myopia (severe) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23933737)

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 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.
