C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glaucoma (primary open-angle) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glaucoma (primary open-angle).
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glaucoma (primary open-angle) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs72835984
What is rs72835984?
rs72835984 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EXOC2 gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary open-angle). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs72835984 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 rs72835984 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 rs72835984 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29891935. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
