Retinal thickness (functional principal component 5)

near SPRY2 · rs7996082

What the study found

Who was studied 43,152 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,179 Central or South Asian individuals, 1,161 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 14.5 higher (95% confidence interval 10.33-18.73); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q31.1 — between genes, 71.7 kb from SPRY2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (functional principal component 5). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (functional principal component 5). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Retinal thickness (functional principal component 5). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7996082

What is rs7996082?

rs7996082 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SPRY2 gene. Published research associates it with retinal thickness (functional principal component 5). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7996082 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 rs7996082 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:39904976. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
