What the study found

Who was studied 79,148 European ancestry cases, 61,106 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — between genes, 13 kb from RBBP8NL.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2427345

What is rs2427345?

rs2427345 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RBBP8NL gene. Published research associates it with prostate 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 rs2427345 linked to?

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

Does having rs2427345 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 rs2427345 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2018, PMID:29892016. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
