Kidney cancer

SCARB1 · rs10846758

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 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 25,890 European ancestry cases, 743,585 European ancestry controls, 897 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 3,109 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,612 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 2,180 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 621 East Asian ancestry cases, 86,796 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.09 times the odds of Kidney cancer (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.12); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — in an intron of SCARB1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10846758

What is rs10846758?

rs10846758 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCARB1 gene. Published research associates it with kidney cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10846758 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 rs10846758 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38671320. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
