Despite the high prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis, the genetic factors contributing to it have not been characterized in detail. We sought to characterize genetic factors associated with allergic conjunctivitis both in relation to and independent of systemic atopic or allergic conditions. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis using data from FinnGen, Estonian Biobank, and UK Biobank cohorts. A total of 45,734 cases with allergic conjunctivitis and 1,084,159 controls were included. We conducted a phenome-wide association study and pathway and enrichment analyses, and assessed genetic correlations with other phenotypes. Genome-wide significant (P < 5 × 10 ) associations were identified for allergic conjunctivitis at 34 loci, many of which had not been reported to a

Discuss with your doctor
-
allergic conjunctivitis risk and prevention options Moderate
Genetic predisposition can inform personalized prevention strategies and early intervention planning
Lifestyle
-
protective eyewear in high-allergen environments Low
RORA regulates immune responses; genetic predisposition increases allergic conjunctivitis risk; environmental barriers reduce allergen exposure
Wear sunglasses or protective eyewear during high pollen seasons or when outdoors
Screening
-
allergic conjunctivitis symptoms Moderate
RORA C allele is associated with allergic conjunctivitis susceptibility (p=3e-8, n=1.1M)
