What the study found

Who was studied 21,768 European ancestry individuals, 2,131 Erasmus Rucphen (founder/genetic isolate) individuals; replicated in 8,168 Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.012 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0081-0.0159); p = 7 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p13.3 — in an intron of PDZD2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Vertical cup-disc ratio compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Vertical cup-disc ratio.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Vertical cup-disc ratio — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs72759609

What is rs72759609?

rs72759609 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PDZD2 gene. Published research associates it with vertical cup-disc ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72759609 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Glaucoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs72759609 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 rs72759609 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28073927. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
