LINC00340 · rs1928168

Where this position leads

Condition: Pulmonary Function (Lung Capacity)

What the study found

Who was studied 60,552 European ancestry individuals, 8,429 African individuals, 9,959 Korean ancestry individuals, 11,775 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.003 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0022-0.0038); p = 7 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in an intron of CASC15.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FEV1/FVC). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FEV1/FVC). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung function (FEV1/FVC). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1928168

What is rs1928168?

rs1928168 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00340 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (fev1/fvc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1928168 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Pulmonary Function (Lung Capacity). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1928168 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 rs1928168 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30061609. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
