Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 10,052 European ancestry cases, 12,575 European ancestry controls; replicated in 45,290 European ancestry cases, 41,880 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.10); p = 3 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — in an intron of PVT1.

What each result means

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

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

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

Questions about rs11780156

What is rs11780156?

rs11780156 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYC gene. Published research associates it with breast 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 rs11780156 linked to?

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

Does having rs11780156 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 rs11780156 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23535729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
