What the study found

Who was studied 62,533 European ancestry breast cancer female cases, 60,976 European ancestry controls, 15,437 European ancestry invasive epithelial ovarian cancer female cases, 30,845 European ancestry controls, 34,379 European ancestry prostate cancer male cases, 33,164 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0521 higher (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.068); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — in an intron of PVT1.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer, ovarian cancer or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer, ovarian cancer or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Breast cancer, ovarian cancer or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3802173

What is rs3802173?

rs3802173 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR1208/PVT1 gene. Published research associates it with breast cancer, ovarian cancer or prostate cancer (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs3802173 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 rs3802173 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 rs3802173 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer discovery 2016, PMID:27432226. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
