What the study found

Who was studied 10,809 East Asian ancestry cases, 95,790 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.21 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.14-1.28); p = 6 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q23.2 — in an intron of SLC2A12.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Prostate 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 Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10499188

What is rs10499188?

rs10499188 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC2A12 gene. Published research associates it with prostate 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 rs10499188 linked to?

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

Does having rs10499188 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 rs10499188 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37945903. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
