MIR99AHG · rs240471

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 738,319 European ancestry individuals, 3,342 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.29 times the odds of Papillary renal cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.21-1.38); p = 9 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q21.1 — in an intron of MIR99AHG.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Papillary renal cell carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Papillary renal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Papillary renal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs240471

What is rs240471?

rs240471 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR99AHG gene. Published research associates it with papillary renal 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 rs240471 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Renal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs240471 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 rs240471 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38671320. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
