What the study found

Who was studied 6,988 European ancestry cases, 44,256 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.27 times the odds of Prostate cancer (early onset) (95% confidence interval 1.17-1.38); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 91% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q27 — between genes, 39.1 kb from RPL12P23.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer (early onset). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer (early onset). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer (early onset). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs138004030

What is rs138004030?

rs138004030 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LOC154449 gene. Published research associates it with prostate cancer (early onset). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs138004030 linked to?

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

Does having rs138004030 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 rs138004030 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29892016. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
