What the study found

Who was studied 2,625 European ancestry cases, 447,647 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.229 higher (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.29); p = 8 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.13 — in an intron of FGFR2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Breast 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 Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2912780

What is rs2912780?

rs2912780 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGFR2 gene. Published research associates it with breast 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 rs2912780 linked to?

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

Does having rs2912780 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 rs2912780 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
