What the study found

Who was studied 38,064 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 76,856 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 11,570 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 45,339 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 1,446 East Asian ancestry cases, 5,057 East Asian ancestry controls, 81,303 European ancestry cases, 349,418 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.044 lower (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.054); p = 6 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q22.2 — in an intron of LMO7.

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 rs9544026

What is rs9544026?

rs9544026 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LMO7 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 rs9544026 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 rs9544026 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 rs9544026 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
