What the study found

Who was studied 12,346 East Asian ancestry cases, 225,690 East Asian ancestry controls, 10,976 European ancestry cases, 260,520 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.26 times the odds of Lung adenocarcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.23-1.3); p = 4 × 10−50.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CHRNA5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung adenocarcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Lung adenocarcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lung adenocarcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4887067

What is rs4887067?

rs4887067 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHRNA5 gene. Published research associates it with lung adenocarcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4887067 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to EGFR Mutation-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4887067 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 rs4887067 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2026, PMID:42152146. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
