What the study found

Who was studied 3,659 European ancestry cases, 4,897 European ancestry controls; replicated in 12,576 European ancestry cases, 12,223 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.14); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.3 — in an intron of CDKN2B-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1011970

What is rs1011970?

rs1011970 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDKN2A gene. Published research associates it with breast 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 rs1011970 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs1011970?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs1011970 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 rs1011970 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:20453838. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
