What the study found

Who was studied 2,157 European ancestry cases, 1,150 European ancestry controls; replicated in 7,892 European ancestry cases, 5,998 European ancestry controls, 678 Japanese ancestry cases, 336 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 4.31 times the odds of Age-related macular degeneration (95% confidence interval 2.76-6.87); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of C2-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. 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 Age-related macular degeneration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Age-related macular degeneration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9380272

What is rs9380272?

rs9380272 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CFB gene. Published research associates it with age-related macular degeneration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9380272 linked to?

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

Does having rs9380272 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 rs9380272 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2010, PMID:20385819. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
