Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

CCHCR1 · rs1265081

What the study found

Who was studied 2,171 European ancestry cases, 4,493 European ancestry controls; replicated in 5,205 European ancestry cases, 3,232 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.18 times the odds of Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.11-1.23); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of CCHCR1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1265081

What is rs1265081?

rs1265081 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCHCR1 gene. Published research associates it with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1265081 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 rs1265081 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer research 2020, PMID:32276964. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
