Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

THSD4 · rs12908092

Where this position leads

Condition: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

What the study found

Who was studied 1,503 Admixed American ancestry cases, 13,583 Admixed American ancestry controls, 484 South Asian ancestry cases, 21,464 South Asian ancestry controls, 1,978 African ancestry cases, 27,704 African ancestry controls, 19,044 East Asian ancestry cases, 310,689 East Asian ancestry controls, 58,559 European ancestry cases, 937,358 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,151 African ancestry cases, 7,542 African ancestry controls, 3,068 European ancestry cases, 43,002 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0442 higher (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.06); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q23 — in an intron of THSD4.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12908092

What is rs12908092?

rs12908092 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THSD4 gene. Published research associates it with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12908092 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs12908092 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 rs12908092 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2022, PMID:36777996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
