What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Bladder cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19648920)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Bladder cancer. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19648920)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Bladder cancer compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19648920)

What do people read about alongside rs2294008?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include alcohol and the flush (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2294008 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 rs2294008 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19648920. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
