Who was studied 12.945 European ancestry cases, 274,252 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,242 European ancestry cases, 12,802 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Basal cell carcinoma; p = 2 × 10−17.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p13 — in a non-coding transcript of FOXP1.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2116709
What is rs2116709?
rs2116709 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOXP1 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 rs2116709 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 rs2116709 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 rs2116709 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2016, PMID:27539887. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
