Retinal detachment

FAT3 · rs7118248

What the study found

Who was studied 3,449 European ancestry cases, 60,562 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.17 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.22); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q14.3 — in an intron of FAT3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7118248

What is rs7118248?

rs7118248 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAT3 gene. Published research associates it with retinal detachment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7118248 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 rs7118248 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.
