What the study found

Who was studied 2,273 Korean ancestry cases, 2,052 Korean ancestry controls; replicated in 4,049 Korean ancestry cases, 3,845 Korean ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.53 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.37-1.70); p = 9 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q34 — in an intron of ERBB4.

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 rs13393577

What is rs13393577?

rs13393577 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ERBB4 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 rs13393577 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 rs13393577 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 rs13393577 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Breast cancer research : BCR 2012, PMID:22452962. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
