What the study found

Who was studied 133,492 European ancestry individuals with intraocular pressure measurements, 90,939 European ancestry individuals with vertical cup-disc ratio measurements, 7,947 British ancestry glaucoma cases, 119,318 British ancestry controls; replicated in 6,924 European ancestry glaucoma cases, 40,230 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Glaucoma (multi-trait analysis); p = 7 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.3 — in an intron of PDE7B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9494457

What is rs9494457?

rs9494457 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PDE7B gene. Published research associates it with glaucoma (multi-trait analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9494457 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 rs9494457 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 rs9494457 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2020, PMID:31959993. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
