Your DNA file reports your genotype at rs1061170 — a marker in the CFH gene that studies link to macular degeneration risk (cfh y402h). Here's what each genotype is associated with:
| Genotype | What it's associated with |
|---|---|
| CC | Two His402 (C) alleles in CFH — higher risk of age-related macular degeneration. Not smoking and an eye-healthy (AREDS-type) diet help; informational, not a diagnosis. |
| CT | One His402 (C) allele — moderately higher macular-degeneration risk. Informational. |
| TT | Tyr402 — lower-risk genotype at this CFH marker; average background risk. |
