What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pulmonary function — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21946350)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Pulmonary function. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21946350)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pulmonary function compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21946350)

Questions about rs2798641

What is rs2798641?

rs2798641 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARMC2 gene. Published research associates it with pulmonary function. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2798641 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Pulmonary Function (Lung Capacity). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2798641 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2798641 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21946350. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
