Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 36,948 European ancestry cases, 30,864 European ancestry controls; replicated in 12,952 European ancestry cases, 48,383 European ancestry controls, 8,580 East Asian ancestry cases, 13,050 East Asian ancestry controls, 1,611 Hispanic cases, 4,330 Hispanic controls, 1,894 African American cases, 4,703 African American controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Colorectal cancer (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.15); p = 8 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.1 — in an intron of LINC01500.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17094983

What is rs17094983?

rs17094983 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DACT1 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs17094983 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 rs17094983 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 rs17094983 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Natl Cancer Inst 2018, PMID:29917119. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
