What the study found

Who was studied 961 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 3,792 Taiwanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 74.79 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 32.32-173.08); p = 7 × 10−24.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.1 — between genes, 21.7 kb from HSPA8P17.

What each result means

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

rs143976741 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HSPA8P17 gene. Published research associates it with prostate 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 rs143976741 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 rs143976741 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 rs143976741 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer medicine 2026, PMID:42415294. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
