What the study found

Who was studied 255 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,604 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 660 European ancestry cases, 447,124 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2.59 lower (95% confidence interval 2.55-2.63); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q13.1 — in an intron of C8orf44-SGK3.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Abnormal results of function study of pulmonary system (PheCode 514.1) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Abnormal results of function study of pulmonary system (PheCode 514.1).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Abnormal results of function study of pulmonary system (PheCode 514.1) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs149521268

What is rs149521268?

rs149521268 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C8orf44-SGK3 gene. Published research associates it with abnormal results of function study of pulmonary system (phecode 514.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs149521268 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 rs149521268 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
