Lung function in never smokers (low FEV1 vs high FEV1)

HLA-DQB1 · rs9274600

What the study found

Who was studied 9,745 European ancestry individuals with low FEV1 measurements, 4,902 European ancestry individuals with high FEV1 measurements.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.18 times the odds of Lung function in never smokers (low FEV1 vs high FEV1) (95% confidence interval 1.13-1.25); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — inside HLA-DQB1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lung function in never smokers (low FEV1 vs high FEV1) — 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 function in never smokers (low FEV1 vs high FEV1).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lung function in never smokers (low FEV1 vs high FEV1) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9274600

What is rs9274600?

rs9274600 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DQB1 gene. Published research associates it with lung function in never smokers (low fev1 vs high fev1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9274600 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 rs9274600 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Lancet Respir Med 2015, PMID:26423011. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
