Prostate-specific antigen levels

near KLK3 · rs113697264

What the study found

Who was studied 61,745 African ancestry individuals, 6,967 Asian ancestry individuals, 297,166 European ancestry individuals, 26,644 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.13 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.16); p = 6 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.33 — between genes, 3.1 kb from KLK3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Prostate-specific antigen levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Prostate-specific antigen levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate-specific antigen levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs113697264

What is rs113697264?

rs113697264 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KLK3 gene. Published research associates it with prostate-specific antigen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs113697264 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 rs113697264 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39930085. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
