Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 115,486 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.135 lower (95% confidence interval 0.095-0.175); p = 4 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — in an intron of EXOC2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Intraocular pressure — 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 Intraocular pressure.

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

Questions about rs72835956

What is rs72835956?

rs72835956 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EXOC2 gene. Published research associates it with intraocular pressure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72835956 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 rs72835956 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 rs72835956 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:29617998. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
