What the study found

Who was studied 393,161 European ancestry individuals, 4,227 African ancestry individuals, 1,564 East Asian ancestry individuals, 4,270 South Asian ancestry individuals, 2,798 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.39 z score higher; p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.22 — between genes, 0.3 kb from KIF1B.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Peak expiratory flow — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Peak expiratory flow.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Peak expiratory flow compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6541092

What is rs6541092?

rs6541092 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KIF1B gene. Published research associates it with peak expiratory flow. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6541092 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 rs6541092 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.
