C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Colorectal cancer x fine particulate matter exposure levels interaction compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Environ Int 2020, PMID:33338681)
C/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Colorectal cancer x fine particulate matter exposure levels interaction. (GWAS Catalog, Environ Int 2020, PMID:33338681)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Colorectal cancer x fine particulate matter exposure levels interaction — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Environ Int 2020, PMID:33338681)

Questions about rs6950598
What is rs6950598?
rs6950598 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HDAC9 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal cancer x fine particulate matter exposure levels interaction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6950598 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Colorectal Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6950598 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 rs6950598 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Environ Int 2020, PMID:33338681. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
