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 each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lung function (forced vital capacity) — 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 Lung function (forced vital capacity).
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lung function (forced vital capacity) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6923462
What is rs6923462?
rs6923462 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BMP6 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (forced vital capacity). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs6923462 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 rs6923462 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2014, PMID:24929828. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
