near LINC02814 · rs6685751

What the study found

Who was studied 43,148 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,179 Central or South Asian individuals, 1,161 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.292 lower (95% confidence interval 0.21-0.37); p = 6 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.13 — between genes, 102.6 kb from LINC02814.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (pixel 111_210). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (pixel 111_210). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (pixel 111_210). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6685751

What is rs6685751?

rs6685751 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02814 gene. Published research associates it with retinal thickness (pixel 111_210). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6685751 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 rs6685751 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:39904976. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
