Figure 2. The Wnt signaling molecules
FZD8,
TCF7L2, and
RYK and their association with CCT in Singapore Indian and Malaysian populations. In the Singapore Indian population, a variant
in the
FZD8-containing region [
rs640827; p=5.17×10
−4] is associated with central corneal thickness (CCT;
A). In contrast, the variants in the intervals containing Wnt signaling genes
TCF7L2 (
C) and
RYK (
E) are not significant. In the Singapore Malaysian population, a variant in
TCF7L2 (
rs3814573; p=1.18×10
−3) is associated with CCT (
D) and two variants in the
RYK-containing interval (
rs6763231; p=1.12×10
−3 and
rs4854785; p=1.11×10
−3) are associated with CCT (
F). Variants in the vicinity of
FZD8 are not associated with CCT in the Singapore Malaysian population. Variants in the region of the remaining seven Wnt genes
evaluated are not statistically significant.
