TET2-AS1 · rs190445492

What the study found

Who was studied 266 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,540 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 864 European ancestry cases, 450,063 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 2.78 lower (95% confidence interval 2.75-2.81); p = 1 × 10−12.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q24 — in an intron of TET2-AS1.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3) compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs190445492

What is rs190445492?

rs190445492 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TET2-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with cancer of major salivary glands (phecode 145.3). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs190445492 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 rs190445492 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.
