A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Prostate cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21743467)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Prostate cancer. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21743467)
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Prostate cancer compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21743467)

Does having rs2242652 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 rs2242652 come from?
