What the study found

Who was studied 17,789 European ancestry cases.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.01 lower (95% confidence interval -2.55--1.46); p = 4 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — in an intron of ZSCAN16-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs138234416

What is rs138234416?

rs138234416 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZSCAN16-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal cancer (age of 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 rs138234416 linked to?

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

Does having rs138234416 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 rs138234416 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2023, PMID:36869385. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
