Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 31,197 European ancestry cases, 61,770 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.12 times the odds of Colorectal cancer (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.16); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q11.2 — a missense change in ACTR1B.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11692435

What is rs11692435?

rs11692435 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACTR1B gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs11692435 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Colorectal Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs11692435 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 rs11692435 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2019, PMID:31089142. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
