Lung function (FVC)

CLDN7 · rs1215

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

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 A allele shifted the measure 0.0217 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.028); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of ELP5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung function (FVC). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FVC). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FVC). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1215

What is rs1215?

rs1215 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CLDN7 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (fvc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1215 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 rs1215 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.
