Retinal arteriolar tortuosity

KAT2B · rs75482782

What the study found

Who was studied 52,798 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,987 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.033 lower (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.043); p = 8 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p24.3 — in an intron of KAT2B.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs75482782

What is rs75482782?

rs75482782 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KAT2B gene. Published research associates it with retinal arteriolar tortuosity. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs75482782 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 rs75482782 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:36757925. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
