What the study found

Who was studied 23,963 European ancestry cases, 306,942 European ancestry controls, 6,935 East Asian ancestry cases, 39,588 East Asian ancestry controls, 3,281 Sub-Saharan African ancestry cases, 2,791 Sub-Saharan African ancestry controls; replicated in 43,254 European ancestry cases, 1,471,118 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.125 lower; p = 2 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q41 — in an intron of LYPLAL1-DT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). 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 Glaucoma (primary open-angle). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6667536

What is rs6667536?

rs6667536 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LYPLAL1-DT gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary open-angle). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6667536 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 rs6667536 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 rs6667536 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33627673. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
