SFTPD protein level (protein group normalized intensity)

SFTPD · rs721917

What the study found

Who was studied 1,239 European, Hispanic or African ancestry individuals; replicated in 325 Arab, Indian or Filipino ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.748 lower (95% confidence interval 0.69-0.81); p = 2 × 10−122.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q22.3 — a missense change in SFTPD.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2018-11-12. ClinVar record 165219 NM_003019.5(SFTPD):c.92T>C (p.Met31Thr)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of SFTPD protein level (protein group normalized intensity) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with SFTPD protein level (protein group normalized intensity).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of SFTPD protein level (protein group normalized intensity) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs721917

What is rs721917?

rs721917 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SFTPD gene. Published research associates it with sftpd protein level (protein group normalized intensity). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs721917 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 rs721917 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41310232. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
