Who was studied 38,199 European ancestry adults; replicated in 54,550 European ancestry adults, 5,062 children.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.031 higher (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.041); p = 1 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q25.32 — in an intron of MLF1-DT.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lung function (FEV1) compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lung function (FEV1).
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lung function (FEV1) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6441207
What is rs6441207?
rs6441207 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AK097794 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.
What conditions is rs6441207 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 rs6441207 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 rs6441207 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26635082. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
