Who was studied 1,161 European ancestry cases, 4,683 European ancestry controls; replicated in 876 European ancestry cases, 1,890 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele carried 1.29 times the odds of Interstitial lung disease (95% confidence interval 1.18-1.42); p = 2 × 10−11.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — in an intron of FAM13A.
What ClinVar records
ClassificationUncertain significance; association for Interstitial lung disease 2, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Combined pulmonary fibrosis-emphysema syndrome, Susceptibility to severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19); no assertion criteria provided (0 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2024-05-13.
ClinVar record 1162779NM_014883.4(FAM13A):c.843+16335C>A
What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
What each result means
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Interstitial lung disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Interstitial lung disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Interstitial lung disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2609255
What is rs2609255?
rs2609255 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM13A gene. Published research associates it with interstitial lung disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2609255 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 rs2609255 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 rs2609255 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23583980. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
