Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 321,047 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 24,218 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0192 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.024); p = 1 × 10⁻¹².

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q35.3 — in an intron of RASGEF1C.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Peak expiratory flow — 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 Peak expiratory flow.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Peak expiratory flow compared to the general population.

Questions about rs79898473

What is rs79898473?

rs79898473 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RASGEF1C gene. Published research associates it with peak expiratory flow. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79898473 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 rs79898473 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30804560. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
