Who was studied 2,792 East Asian ancestry cases, 235,223 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.208 higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.26); p = 1 × 10−13.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — in an intron of HLA-DPA1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Hepatocellular carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Hepatocellular carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Hepatocellular carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3179778
What is rs3179778?
rs3179778 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HLA-DPA1 gene. Published research associates it with hepatocellular carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs3179778 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs3179778 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 rs3179778 come from?
GWAS Catalog, JHEP reports : innovation in hepatology 2025, PMID:40823170. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
