Who was studied 18,034 African or African American cases, 22,104 African or African American controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.24 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.15-1.34); p = 2 × 10−8.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.13 — in an intron of FGFR2.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs17542768 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGFR2 gene. Published research associates it with breast 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 rs17542768 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Breast Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs17542768 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 rs17542768 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38741014. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
