Myopia (age of diagnosis)

ZDHHC11 · rs6875688

Where this position leads

Condition: Myopia

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Myopia (age of diagnosis) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Myopia (age of diagnosis).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Myopia (age of diagnosis) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6875688

What is rs6875688?

rs6875688 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZDHHC11 gene. Published research associates it with myopia (age of diagnosis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6875688 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 rs6875688 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 rs6875688 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29808027. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
