BMP6 · rs6923462

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 52,253 European ancestry indiviudals; replicated in 32,917 European ancestry individuals, 6,070 African American individuals, 849 Hispanic individuals, 8,637 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 30.9 ml higher (95% confidence interval 22.48-39.29); p = 6 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 84% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p24.3 — in an intron of BMP6.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (forced vital capacity). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (forced vital capacity). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung function (forced vital capacity). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

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.
