Forced vital capacity (FVC)

near EFEMP1 · rs72811742

Where this position leads

Condition: Pulmonary Function (Lung Capacity)

What the study found

Who was studied 129,680 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0222 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.029); p = 2 × 10⁻⁹.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p16.1 — between genes, 3.5 kb from RN7SKP208.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Forced vital capacity (FVC) — 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 Forced vital capacity (FVC).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Forced vital capacity (FVC) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs72811742

What is rs72811742?

rs72811742 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EFEMP1 gene. Published research associates it with forced vital capacity (fvc). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72811742 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Pulmonary Function (Lung Capacity). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs72811742 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 rs72811742 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41565855. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
