Who was studied 17,416 European ancestry cases, 375,455 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0745 higher (95% confidence interval 0.053-0.096); p = 1 × 10−11.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q28 — in an intron of LPP.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2049218
What is rs2049218?
rs2049218 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPP gene. Published research associates it with basal cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2049218 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Basal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2049218 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 rs2049218 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Genome Med 2021, PMID:33549134. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
