Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 11,085 European ancestry cases, 11,463 European ancestry controls; replicated in 19,662 European ancestry cases, 19,715 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.12); p = 5 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.3 — in an intron of AFM.

What each result means

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

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1894292

What is rs1894292?

rs1894292 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COX18 gene. Published research associates it with prostate 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 rs1894292 linked to?

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

Does having rs1894292 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 rs1894292 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23535732. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
