SNP to trait association when the reference allele is the minor allele

I have a SNV, rs3134614 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/rs3134614), where the reference allele (G) is also the minor allele. So here, G->C where C is the major allele in all populations. The problem is, I want to understand if there are any phenotype associations/consequences in individuals that have the minor allele (G) and not C. So my question is, would it be correct to use this SNP entry to look-up phenotype associations?

I have confused myself, since by checking for phenotype associations for rs3134614 I would be asking the question: "Which phenotypes are associated with the major allele?", but in this case I am actually interested in the effect of the minor allele (G). Sorry for this very basic question, any help is very much appreciated.
