Who was studied 2,496 Taiwanese Han ancestry cases, 9,984 Taiwanese Han ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele carried 1.30 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.21-1.38); p = 6 × 10−15.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.1 — between genes, 14.8 kb from ESR1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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 rs12173562
What is rs12173562?
rs12173562 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ESR1 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 rs12173562 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 rs12173562 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 rs12173562 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Breast cancer research and treatment 2024, PMID:37851288. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
