What the study found

Who was studied 83,801 European ancestry cases, 347,397 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0433 lower (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.054); p = 8 × 10−17.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.1 — in an intron of JAZF1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs182533474

What is rs182533474?

rs182533474 is a single position in the genome, in or near the JAZF1 gene. Published research associates it with skin 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 rs182533474 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Sun Sensitivity, Freckling and Skin Cancer Risk. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs182533474 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 rs182533474 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
