Squamous cell lung carcinoma

ZSCAN12 · rs13213986

What the study found

Who was studied 7,426 European ancestry cases, 55,627 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.25 times the odds of Squamous cell lung carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.168376851-1.335481193); p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of ZSCAN12.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13213986

What is rs13213986?

rs13213986 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZSCAN12 gene. Published research associates it with squamous cell lung carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13213986 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 rs13213986 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:28604730. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
