Questions about rs145855729

What is rs145855729?

rs145855729 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STK38 gene. Published research associates it with subclinical trait of interstitial lung disease (basilar percentage of high attenuation areas on ct scan). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs145855729 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Interstitial Lung Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs145855729 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 rs145855729 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Respir Res 2017, PMID:28521775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
