What the study found

Who was studied 4,368 European ancestry cases, 9,123 European ancestry controls,; replicated in 2,462 European ancestry BRCA1 mutation carrier cases, 12,790 European ancestry BRCA1 mutation carrier controls, up to 631 European ancestry BRCA2 mutation carrier cases, 7,580 European ancestry BRCA2 mutation carrier controls, 9,627 European ancestry serous cases, 1,442 European ancestry non-serous cases, 21,722 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.30 times the odds of Epithelial ovarian cancer (95% confidence interval 1.22-1.37); p = 1 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — in an intron of LINC00824.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Epithelial ovarian cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Epithelial ovarian cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Epithelial ovarian cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10088218

What is rs10088218?

rs10088218 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CMYC gene. Published research associates it with epithelial ovarian cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10088218 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Ovarian Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10088218 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 rs10088218 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:25581431. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
