Who was studied 4,125 European ancestry cases, 20,464 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.30 times the odds of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (95% confidence interval 1.22-1.39); p = 6 × 10−17.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — in an intron of FAM13A.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs2609259 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM13A 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.
What conditions is rs2609259 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2609259 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 rs2609259 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Thorax 2022, PMID:35688625. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
