What the study found

Who was studied 60,552 European ancestry individuals, 8,429 African individuals, 9,959 Korean ancestry individuals, 11,775 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 29.9 ml lower (95% confidence interval 20.41-39.35); p = 6 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.2 — between genes, 18.1 kb from LINC01572.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55771535

What is rs55771535?

rs55771535 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PMFBP1 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (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 rs55771535 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 rs55771535 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 rs55771535 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30061609. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
