What the study found

Who was studied 57,290 European ancestry cases, 324,430 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0618 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.081); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — in an intron of PILRA.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7803454

What is rs7803454?

rs7803454 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PILRA gene. Published research associates it with age-related macular degeneration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7803454 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7803454 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 rs7803454 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39623103. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
