What the study found

Who was studied 7,873 European ancestry cases, 60,517 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.141 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.18); p = 2 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.3 — in an intron of LMX1B-DT.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6478746

What is rs6478746?

rs6478746 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LMX1B-DT gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6478746 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 rs6478746 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 rs6478746 come from?

GWAS Catalog, EBioMedicine 2022, PMID:35841873. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
