What the study found

Who was studied 5,672 East Asian ancestry cases, 84,660 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.173 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.23); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

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

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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.

Questions about rs2823739

What is rs2823739?

rs2823739 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR99AHG 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 rs2823739 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 rs2823739 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 rs2823739 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
