Hormone-sensitive cancer

TOX3 · rs17271951

What the study found

Who was studied 15,197 White ancestry cases, 223,207 White ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.00522 higher; p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q12.1 — in an intron of TOX3.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hormone-sensitive cancer compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hormone-sensitive cancer.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hormone-sensitive cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17271951

What is rs17271951?

rs17271951 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TOX3 gene. Published research associates it with hormone-sensitive cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17271951 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 rs17271951 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2022, PMID:35729236. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
