What the study found

Who was studied 3,379 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.95 times the odds of Toxicity response to radiotherapy in prostate cancer (rectal bleeding) (time to event) (95% confidence interval 1.58-2.40); p = 6 × 10−10.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.3 — between genes, 0.4 kb from RNU2-48P.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Toxicity response to radiotherapy in prostate cancer (rectal bleeding) (time to event). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Toxicity response to radiotherapy in prostate cancer (rectal bleeding) (time to event). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Toxicity response to radiotherapy in prostate cancer (rectal bleeding) (time to event). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17055178

What is rs17055178?

rs17055178 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU2-48P gene. Published research associates it with toxicity response to radiotherapy in prostate cancer (rectal bleeding) (time to event). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17055178 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 rs17055178 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 rs17055178 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the National Cancer Institute 2020, PMID:31095341. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
