Lung function (FVC)

AP3B1 · rs72776440

What the study found

Who was studied 60,552 European ancestry individuals, 8,429 African individuals, 9,959 Korean ancestry individuals, 11,775 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 21.3 ml lower (95% confidence interval 15.01-27.59); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.1 — in an intron of AP3B1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung function (FVC). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FVC). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lung function (FVC). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72776440

What is rs72776440?

rs72776440 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AP3B1 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (fvc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72776440 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 rs72776440 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2018, PMID:30061609. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
