What the study found

Who was studied 15,714 European ancestry cases, 621,182 European ancestry controls, 7,062 East Asian ancestry cases, 195,745 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0622 higher; p = 7 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.32 — in an intron of CCND2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3217840

What is rs3217840?

rs3217840 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CCND2 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs3217840 linked to?

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

Does having rs3217840 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 rs3217840 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2024, PMID:38872215. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
