Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 25,890 European ancestry cases, 743,585 European ancestry controls, 897 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 3,109 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,612 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 2,180 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 621 East Asian ancestry cases, 86,796 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.93 times the odds of Kidney cancer (95% confidence interval 0.91-0.95); p = 2 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.2 — in an intron of DPF3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Kidney cancer. 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 Kidney cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

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

Questions about rs17180949

What is rs17180949?

rs17180949 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DPF3 gene. Published research associates it with kidney 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 rs17180949 linked to?

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

Does having rs17180949 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 rs17180949 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38671320. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
