Mammographic density (non-dense area)

near KCNU1 · rs16885613

What the study found

Who was studied 24,689 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 12.8 z score lower; p = 2 × 10−37.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p11.23 — between genes, 54.7 kb from KCNU1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Mammographic density (non-dense area). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Mammographic density (non-dense area). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Mammographic density (non-dense area). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16885613

What is rs16885613?

rs16885613 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KCNU1 gene. Published research associates it with mammographic density (non-dense area). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16885613 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 rs16885613 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Breast cancer research : BCR 2022, PMID:35414113. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
