What the study found

Who was studied 133,384 European ancestry female cases, 113,789 European ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p21.2 — in an intron of EBF2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13256025

What is rs13256025?

rs13256025 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EBF2 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 rs13256025 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 rs13256025 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 rs13256025 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32424353. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
