What the study found
Who was studied 2,642 Japanese ancestry cases, 2,099 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 2,885 Japanese ancestry cases, 3,395 Japanese ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.23 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.153-1.314); p = 4 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.

Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs12922061 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TOX3 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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Breast Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include menopause (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
