What the study found

Who was studied 23,963 European ancestry cases, 306,942 European ancestry controls, 6,935 East Asian ancestry cases, 39,588 East Asian ancestry controls, 3,281 Sub-Saharan African ancestry cases, 2,791 Sub-Saharan African ancestry controls; replicated in 43,254 European ancestry cases, 1,471,118 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.107 lower; p = 1 × 10−49.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.1 — in an intron of AFAP1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). 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 (primary open-angle). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Glaucoma (primary open-angle). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs938604

What is rs938604?

rs938604 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFAP1 gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (primary open-angle). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs938604 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 rs938604 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 rs938604 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33627673. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
