Lung function (forced vital capacity)

AHI1-DT · rs6941396

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 6.59 z score lower; p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.3 — in an intron of AHI1-DT.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (forced vital capacity). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (forced vital capacity). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6941396

What is rs6941396?

rs6941396 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AHI1-DT 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 rs6941396 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 rs6941396 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.
