Percent mammographic density

ATXN1 · rs3819405

What the study found

Who was studied 27,900 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 6.42 z score higher; p = 6 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in an intron of ATXN1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3819405

What is rs3819405?

rs3819405 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATXN1 gene. Published research associates it with percent mammographic density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3819405 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 rs3819405 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Breast cancer research : BCR 2022, PMID:35414113. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
