What the study found

Who was studied 27,993 European ancestry cases, 36,275 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0834 higher (95% confidence interval 0.058-0.109); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.1 — between genes, 66.6 kb from NFIA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6650097

What is rs6650097?

rs6650097 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NFIA gene. Published research associates it with myopia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6650097 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.

Does having rs6650097 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 rs6650097 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.
