What the study found

Who was studied 11,018 European ancestry cases, 126,068 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Glaucoma (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.16); p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p12.1 — in an intron of CADM2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9284802

What is rs9284802?

rs9284802 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CADM2 gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9284802 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 rs9284802 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 rs9284802 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30054594. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
