FOXP4 · rs2495239

Where this position leads

Condition: EGFR Mutation-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma

rs2495239 Condition: EGFR Mutation-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma EGFR Mutation-Positive Lung Adenoca… Condition rs2495239 rs2495239 FOXP4

What the study found

Who was studied 663 Japanese ancestry cases, 4,367 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 2,510 Japanese ancestry cases, 10,791 Japanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.19 times the odds of EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.12-1.26); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — in an intron of FOXP4-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2495239

What is rs2495239?

rs2495239 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOXP4 gene. Published research associates it with egfr mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2495239 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to EGFR Mutation-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2495239 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 rs2495239 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:27501781. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
