What the study found

Who was studied 1,055 African ancestry cases, 120,313 African ancestry controls, 1,259 East Asian ancestry cases, 105,581 East Asian ancestry controls, 30,156 European ancestry cases, 1,527,568 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.08 times the odds of Bladder cancer (95% confidence interval 1.05816830387821-1.09616683447126); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 54% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q32 — in an intron of SH3TC2-DT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Bladder cancer. 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 Bladder cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Bladder cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11738059

What is rs11738059?

rs11738059 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH3TC2-DT gene. Published research associates it with bladder 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 rs11738059 linked to?

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

Does having rs11738059 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 rs11738059 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42706231. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
