C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Colorectal cancer compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2014, PMID:24737748)
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Colorectal cancer. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2014, PMID:24737748)
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Colorectal cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2014, PMID:24737748)
rs2427308 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LAMA5 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs2427308 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Colorectal Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2427308 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 rs2427308 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2014, PMID:24737748. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
