Post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio

near MMP12 · rs737693

What the study found

Who was studied 10,094 European ancestry current and former smoker individuals, 3,260 African American current and former smoker individuals, 178 current and former smoker individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.019 lower; p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q22.2 — between genes, 7.3 kb from MMP12.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs737693

What is rs737693?

rs737693 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MMP12 gene. Published research associates it with post bronchodilator fev1/fvc ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs737693 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 rs737693 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC genetics 2015, PMID:26634245. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
