Peak expiratory flow

KCNQ5 · rs13206405

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−11, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 321,047 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 24,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0212 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.027); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q13 — in an intron of KCNQ5.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs13206405

What is rs13206405?

rs13206405 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNQ5 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 rs13206405 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 rs13206405 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.
