What the study found

Who was studied 17,389 European ancestry cases, 240,341 European ancestry controls, 6,325 East Asian ancestry cases, 73,225 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.069 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.093); p = 8 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q13.3 — in an intron of PAX9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12885612

What is rs12885612?

rs12885612 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAX9 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 rs12885612 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 rs12885612 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 rs12885612 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
