Where this position leads

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7929679

What is rs7929679?

rs7929679 is a single position in the genome, in or near the APIP gene. Published research associates it with lung disease severity in cystic fibrosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7929679 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cystic Fibrosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7929679 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 rs7929679 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26417704. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
