Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-current smokers

CDC123 · rs57062879

What the study found

Who was studied 16,488 European ancestry cases, 169,688 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-current smokers (95% confidence interval 1.09-1.14); p = 3 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p13 — in an intron of CDC123.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-current smokers. 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 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-current smokers. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-current smokers. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs57062879

What is rs57062879?

rs57062879 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDC123 gene. Published research associates it with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in non-current smokers. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs57062879 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 rs57062879 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of epidemiology 2021, PMID:33106845. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
