  • Characterization of genetic loci associated with allergic conjunctivitis. - The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology (2026) · Koskimäki F, Ruokamo-Korva K, Ahokas O, Liinamaa J, Reis K, Reigo A, Palta P, Kettunen J, Karjalainen MK, Saarela V · PubMed 41482248

    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

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

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)
