What the study found

Who was studied 612 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 54,893 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 5,989 European ancestry cases, 309,679 European ancestry controls, 390 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 28,924 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.65 lower (95% confidence interval 1.58-1.73); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q14.3 — in an intron of LEMD3.

What each result means

Questions about rs184769708

What is rs184769708?

rs184769708 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LEMD3 gene. Published research associates it with biological grandparent (paternal): cancer, colon. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs184769708 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 rs184769708 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.
