Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 475,645 European ancestry individuals, 8,590 African ancestry individuals, 85,279 East Asian ancestry individuals, 4,270 South Asian ancestry individuals, 14,668 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 7.04 z score higher; p = 2 × 10⁻¹².

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — in the 3′ untranslated region of HOXB3.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2021-06-20. ClinVar record 1258001 NM_018952.5(HOXB6):c.*157C>T

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung function (FEV1). 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 function (FEV1). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FEV1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs61585154

What is rs61585154?

rs61585154 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HOXB3 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (fev1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61585154 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 rs61585154 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36914875. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
