What the study found

Who was studied 17,416 European ancestry cases, 375,455 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.111 higher (95% confidence interval 0.074-0.147); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q21.3 — a missense change in CTSS.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs41271951

What is rs41271951?

rs41271951 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTSS gene. Published research associates it with basal cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs41271951 linked to?

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

Does having rs41271951 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 rs41271951 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome Med 2021, PMID:33549134. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
