What the study found

Who was studied 431 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 55,074 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 55,282 European ancestry cases, 260,386 European ancestry controls, 979 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 28,335 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0826 lower (95% confidence interval 0.069-0.096); p = 5 × 10−27.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 62% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p13 — in an intron of FOXP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs35480566

What is rs35480566?

rs35480566 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FOXP1 gene. Published research associates it with skin 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 rs35480566 linked to?

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

Does having rs35480566 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 rs35480566 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.
