ARMC2 · rs2798641

Where this position leads

Condition: Pulmonary Function (Lung Capacity)

What the study found

Who was studied 48,201 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 46,411 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.041 lower (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.055); p = 8 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — in an intron of ARMC2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Pulmonary function. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

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

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

Questions about rs2798641

What is rs2798641?

rs2798641 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARMC2 gene. Published research associates it with pulmonary function. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2798641 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 rs2798641 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 rs2798641 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21946350. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
