What the study found

Who was studied 25,890 European ancestry cases, 743,585 European ancestry controls, 897 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 3,109 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,612 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 2,180 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 621 East Asian ancestry cases, 86,796 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.30 times the odds of Kidney cancer (95% confidence interval 1.2-1.42); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q11.2 — between genes, 3.2 kb from NSUN3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Kidney cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Kidney cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Kidney cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs114427493

What is rs114427493?

rs114427493 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NSUN3 gene. Published research associates it with kidney cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs114427493 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 rs114427493 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38671320. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
