What the study found

Who was studied 169 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry cases, 8,368 African American or Afro-Caribbean, African ancestry controls, 1,210 East Asian ancestry cases, 254,409 East Asian ancestry controls, 9,411 European ancestry cases, 1,057,284 European ancestry controls, 319 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 14,452 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 51 South Asian ancestry cases, 21,897 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.29 times the odds of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (95% confidence interval 1.18-1.42); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q32.1 — between genes, 114.9 kb from LINC02233.

What each result means

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