Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p11.21 — in an intron of CAPRIN2.
rs73079970 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CAPRIN2 gene. Published research associates it with cataracts. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cataract. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
