Standard

Malignant neoplasm of liver, primary (PheCode 155.1)

IFNL3 · rs8103142

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−12, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 977 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,676 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,852 European ancestry cases, 447,587 European ancestry controls, 630 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,146 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.16 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.2); p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — a missense change in IFNL3.

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-11-01 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Malignant neoplasm of liver, primary (PheCode 155.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Malignant neoplasm of liver, primary (PheCode 155.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Malignant neoplasm of liver, primary (PheCode 155.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
