Peak expiratory flow

FAM13A · rs2609279

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 321,047 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 24,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0202 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.026); p = 6 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T 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 each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Peak expiratory flow. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2609279

What is rs2609279?

rs2609279 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM13A gene. Published research associates it with peak expiratory flow. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2609279 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 rs2609279 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30804560. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
