C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Breast cancer compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2007, PMID:17529967)
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Breast cancer. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2007, PMID:17529967)
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Breast cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2007, PMID:17529967)

Questions about rs3817198
What is rs3817198?
rs3817198 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LSP1 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 rs3817198 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 rs3817198 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 rs3817198 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature 2007, PMID:17529967. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
