ZMAT4 rs16890057: what the research says
This SNP is linked to variations in spherical equivalent refraction and spherical power, contributing to refractive error phenotypes in pediatric cohorts.
What each genotype means
Typical refractive development
This genotype is associated with standard ocular growth patterns in pediatric cohorts. Research suggests it may influence spherical equivalent refraction, though the effect size is modest.
This genotype is common in East Asian populations.
Varied refractive development
Carriers of this genotype may show slight variations in spherical power and axial length during childhood. Evidence for this association is limited and primarily observed in East Asian pediatric studies.
This genotype is frequently observed in East Asian populations.
Associated with refractive variation
This genotype has been associated with changes in spherical equivalent refraction and axial length in children. These findings are based on statistical associations in East Asian cohorts and should not be used for clinical diagnosis.
This genotype is common in East Asian populations.
