A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Spherical equivalent or myopia (age of diagnosis) compared to the general population.
A/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Spherical equivalent or myopia (age of diagnosis).
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Spherical equivalent or myopia (age of diagnosis) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs72826094
What is rs72826094?
rs72826094 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCF7L2 gene. Published research associates it with spherical equivalent or 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 rs72826094 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 rs72826094 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 rs72826094 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.
