What the study found

Who was studied 15,087 European ancestry individuals, 2,131 Erasmus Rucphen Family individuals; replicated in 2,363 Chinese ancestry individuals, 2,225 Malay ancestry individuals, 2,025 Indian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.016 lower (95% confidence interval 0.010-0.022); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q21.31 — between genes, 585.1 kb from RPL6P25.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7972528

What is rs7972528?

rs7972528 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMTC2 gene. Published research associates it with optic cup area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7972528 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 rs7972528 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genetic epidemiology 2015, PMID:25631615. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
