Lung function (FEV1)

GLIS3 · rs7872188

What the study found

Who was studied 48,943 European ancestry individuals.; replicated in 57,176 European ancestry individuals, 38,199 individuals..

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.026 lower (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.034); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 40% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p24.2 — in an intron of GLIS3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7872188

What is rs7872188?

rs7872188 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GLIS3 gene. Published research associates it with lung function (fev1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7872188 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 rs7872188 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:28166213. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
