- Data indicate that the FAM13A protein CTGA haplotypes interacted with heavy smoking to affect the risk of reduced pulmonary function. (PMID:25608829)
- Fam13a may contribute to human lung diseases. (PMID:25609086)
- This study confirms that the IREB2 variants contribute to an increased risk of lung cancer, whereas FAM13A predisposes to increased susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (PMID:26310313)
- FAM13A - candidate gene for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease identified by Genome-wide association studies. (PMID:26527870)
- this study shows that FAM13A confers a risk for airway obstruction in general that is not driven exclusively by cigarette smoking, which is the main risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PMID:27612410)
- FAM13A gene polymorphism showed a significant association with the susceptibility to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, with severity of lung function impairment and with poor prognosis. (PMID:28137485)
- noncoding FAM13A polymorphisms were correlated with gene expression levels, and thus were probably in linkage disequilibrium with genetic loci that regulated the expression of FAM13A (PMID:28569593)
- Data show that FAM13A is a modifier gene of Cystic Fibrosis lung phenotype regulating RhoA activity, actin cytoskeleton dynamics and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. (PMID:29239766)

Stratified analyses indicated that the risk was higher in never smokers. (PMID:29872291)
- rs2013701 as a functional variant likely to contribute to the development of COPD (PMID:30079747)
- Our results suggest that FAM13A is dispensable for adipose development and insulin sensitivity. Yet the expression of FAM13A needs to be tightly controlled in adipose precursor cells for their proper survival and downstream adipogenesis. These data provide novel insights into the link between FAM13A and obesity. (PMID:30301961)

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 49 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
