What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Lancet Respir Med 2013, PMID:24429156)
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. (GWAS Catalog, Lancet Respir Med 2013, PMID:24429156)
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Lancet Respir Med 2013, PMID:24429156)

Questions about rs17690703
What is rs17690703?
rs17690703 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPPL2C gene. Published research associates it with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs17690703 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 rs17690703 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Lancet Respir Med 2013, PMID:24429156. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
