LINC02820 · rs12820475

What the study found

Who was studied 393,161 European ancestry individuals, 4,227 African ancestry individuals, 1,564 East Asian ancestry individuals, 4,270 South Asian ancestry individuals, 2,798 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 8.22 z score lower; p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q21.31 — inside LINC02820.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12820475

What is rs12820475?

rs12820475 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02820 gene. Published research associates it with peak expiratory flow. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12820475 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 rs12820475 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36914875. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
