What the study found

Who was studied 90,939 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0056 lower; p = 8 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — in an intron of LINC03082.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9521601

What is rs9521601?

rs9521601 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRS2 gene. Published research associates it with vertical cup-disc ratio (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 rs9521601 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 rs9521601 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 rs9521601 come from?

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