What the study found

Who was studied 25,928 European ancestry cases, 466,275 European ancestry controls, 154 East Asian ancestry cases, 178,572 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0709 higher (95% confidence interval 0.051-0.091); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q27 — in an intron of CEP43.

What each result means

G/G 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.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs201601284

What is rs201601284?

rs201601284 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CEP43 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 rs201601284 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 rs201601284 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 rs201601284 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
