rs3736309 is a SNP in the aquaporin 5 (AQP5) gene. Among other roles, the aquaporin proteins play a critical role in the maintenance of normal lung water homeostasis.
A study of 332 Chinese Han Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and 373 unrelated, age-matched controls concluded that carriers of a rs3736309(G) allele had a lower risk of COPD than rs3736309(A;A) carriers, with an odds ratio of 0.44 (CI: 0.307-0.631). [PMID 18853286]
