What the study found

Who was studied 15,117 European ancestry individuals, 2,131 Erasmus Rucphen Family individuals; replicated in 2,405 Chinese ancestry individuals, 2,305 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,131 Indian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.067 lower (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.085); p = 4 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.13 — in an intron of CDC42BPA.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Optic disc area. 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 Optic disc area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Optic disc area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6671926

What is rs6671926?

rs6671926 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDC42BPA gene. Published research associates it with optic disc area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6671926 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 rs6671926 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genetic epidemiology 2015, PMID:25631615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
