What the study found

Who was studied 2,668 European ancestry cases, 8,591 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,456 European ancestry cases, 11,874 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.82 times the odds of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (95% confidence interval 1.51-2.19); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — in an intron of RTEL1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs41308092

What is rs41308092?

rs41308092 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RTEL1 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 rs41308092 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 rs41308092 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 rs41308092 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine 2020, PMID:31710517. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
