Macular degeneration risk (CFH Y402H)

rs1061170 · gene CFH · category Complex disease risk · Quanome Plus

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:

GenotypeWhat it's associated with
CCTwo 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.
CTOne His402 (C) allele — moderately higher macular-degeneration risk. Informational.
TTTyr402 — lower-risk genotype at this CFH marker; average background risk.

Educational only — not medical or diagnostic advice. A single marker is one of many factors; strand orientation varies between files. Always consult a qualified clinician about your health.
