Retinal arteriolar tortuosity

COL4A2 · rs7991229

What the study found

Who was studied 3,094 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,413 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.103 higher (95% confidence interval 0.059-0.117); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — in an intron of COL4A2.

What each result means

G/G 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.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal arteriolar tortuosity. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7991229

What is rs7991229?

rs7991229 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL4A2 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 rs7991229 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 rs7991229 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology 2019, PMID:31597446. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
