Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 476 European ancestry cases, 1,733 European ancestry controls; replicated in 172 European ancestry cases, 1,134 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele carried 2.40 times the odds of Macular telangiectasia type 2 (95% confidence interval 1.99–2.90); p = 7 × 10−20.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.3 — in an intron of MIR9-2HG.
What each result means
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Macular telangiectasia type 2. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Macular telangiectasia type 2. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Macular telangiectasia type 2. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs73173548 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00461 gene. Published research associates it with macular telangiectasia type 2. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs73173548 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 rs73173548 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28250457. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
