Condition: HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma
What the study found
Who was studied 977 African ancestry cases, 120,676 African ancestry controls, 630 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,146 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 7,355 East Asian ancestry cases, 629,454 East Asian ancestry controls, 8,216 European ancestry cases, 1,558,609 European ancestry controls, 519 cases, 347,798 controls.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.01 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0075-0.0125); p = 3 × 10−15.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — between genes, 1.6 kb from IFNL4.
rs12983038 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IFNL4 gene. Published research associates it with hepatocellular carcinoma. 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 HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
