Retinal arteriolar tortuosity

near TMEM170A · rs7184596

What the study found

Who was studied 52,798 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,987 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.023 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.031); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.1 — between genes, 1.3 kb from TMEM170A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7184596

What is rs7184596?

rs7184596 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM170A gene. Published research associates it with retinal arteriolar tortuosity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7184596 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 rs7184596 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:36757925. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
