Who was studied 129,680 East Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0208 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.028); p = 9 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.1 — in an intron of AFAP1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Forced vital capacity (FVC). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Forced vital capacity (FVC). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Forced vital capacity (FVC). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs28488140 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFAP1 gene. Published research associates it with forced vital capacity (fvc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs28488140 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 rs28488140 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 rs28488140 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41565855. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
