rs10427255

rs10427255 is a GRCh38 C>T intergenic marker at 2q22.3 near ZEB2. It is strongly associated with the photic sneeze reflex, but the linked allele differs by studied population: C increased odds in northern-European evidence, T increased odds in a Chinese exact-marker study, and a perfect same-phase Japanese proxy supported C. This is not a strand error and does not support one universal or broad East Asian result. ZEB2 is a nearby locus label, not an established causal gene.
