Corneal astigmatism is a refractive error caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea, leading to blurred vision at multiple distances.
GWAS work has identified variants linked to corneal shape and astigmatism susceptibility.
This result reflects research-level variation in eye biology and is not an eye exam or a vision prescription.
Eye growth, age, and other refractive conditions also influence actual astigmatism.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
The following peer-reviewed scientific studies support the genetic associations analyzed in this report.
