What the study found

Who was studied 133,384 European ancestry female cases, 113,789 European ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.05); p = 6 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 63% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.11 — in an intron of CUX2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11065822

What is rs11065822?

rs11065822 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CUX2 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 rs11065822 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.

Does having rs11065822 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 rs11065822 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32424353. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
