What the study found

Who was studied 49,905 European ancestry cases, 752,392 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 7 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q35.1 — between genes, 7.1 kb from TLR3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13120159

What is rs13120159?

rs13120159 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TLR3 gene. Published research associates it with basal cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs13120159 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Basal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs13120159 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 rs13120159 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2024, PMID:38182794. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
