Who was studied 10,784 European ancestry cases, 20,406 European ancestry controls; replicated in 3,182 European ancestry cases, 6,301 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele carried 1.12 times the odds of Renal cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.07–1.17); p = 4 × 10−8.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q24.33 — between genes, 3.8 kb from STN1.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Renal cell carcinoma — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Renal cell carcinoma.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Renal cell carcinoma compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11813268
What is rs11813268?
rs11813268 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OBFC1 gene. Published research associates it with renal cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs11813268 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Renal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs11813268 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 rs11813268 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28598434. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
