What the study found

Who was studied 30,309 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 84,722 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 8,523 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 48,779 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 1,127 East Asian ancestry cases, 5,402 East Asian ancestry controls, 56,207 European ancestry cases, 377,826 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0515 higher (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.065); p = 6 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.3 — in an intron of RFX4.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Open-angle glaucoma (PheCode 365.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Open-angle glaucoma (PheCode 365.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Open-angle glaucoma (PheCode 365.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7954897

What is rs7954897?

rs7954897 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RFX4 gene. Published research associates it with open-angle glaucoma (phecode 365.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7954897 linked to?

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

Does having rs7954897 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 rs7954897 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
