Lung function (FEV1/FVC)

MMP15 · rs11648508

What the study found

Who was studied 321,047 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 79,005 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0332 higher (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.038); p = 1 × 10−38.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q21 — in an intron of MMP15.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lung function (FEV1/FVC) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lung function (FEV1/FVC).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lung function (FEV1/FVC) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11648508

What is rs11648508?

rs11648508 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MMP15 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (fev1/fvc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11648508 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 rs11648508 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30804560. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
