What the study found

Who was studied 7,822 European ancestry cases, 144,172 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.148 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.18); p = 5 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.3 — in an intron of TPCN2.

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 rs11228501

What is rs11228501?

rs11228501 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TPCN2 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 rs11228501 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 rs11228501 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 rs11228501 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2024, PMID:38538606. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
