PPARGC1B · rs109077
Where this position leads
Condition: Basal Cell Carcinoma
What the study found
Who was studied 31,787 European ancestry cases, 619,351 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Basal cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07); p = 3 × 10−9.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q32 — in an intron of PPARGC1B.
rs109077 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPARGC1B gene. Published research associates it with basal cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Basal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
