A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Testicular germ cell tumor compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Testicular germ cell tumor.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Testicular germ cell tumor — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2720460
What is rs2720460?
rs2720460 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CENPE gene. Published research associates it with testicular germ cell tumor. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2720460 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Testicular Germ Cell Tumour. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2720460 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 rs2720460 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23666240. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
