Your DNA file reports your genotype at rs10490924 — a marker in the ARMS2/HTRA1 gene that studies link to macular degeneration risk (arms2). Here's what each genotype is associated with:
| Genotype | What it's associated with |
|---|---|
| GG | Lower-risk genotype at ARMS2/HTRA1 — average age-related-macular-degeneration risk here. |
| GT | One risk (T, Ser69) allele — moderately higher macular-degeneration risk. Informational. |
| TT | Two risk (T) alleles — higher age-related-macular-degeneration risk at this marker. Not smoking and eye-healthy nutrition help; informational, not a diagnosis. |
