Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG)

NTN4 · rs76629482

What the study found

Who was studied 31,135 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.53 lower (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.67); p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q22 — in an intron of NTN4.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs76629482

What is rs76629482?

rs76629482 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NTN4 gene. Published research associates it with photoreceptor cell layer thickness phenotypes (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs76629482 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 rs76629482 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:36848389. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
