What the study found

Who was studied 961 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 3,792 Taiwanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 133.20 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 42.48-417.69); p = 5 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q24.2 — inside FEZ1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11220138

What is rs11220138?

rs11220138 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FEZ1 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 rs11220138 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 rs11220138 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 rs11220138 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer medicine 2026, PMID:42415294. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
