Who was studied 15,714 European ancestry cases, 621,182 European ancestry controls, 7,062 East Asian ancestry cases, 195,745 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0765 higher; p = 3 × 10−11.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.11 — between genes, 33.5 kb from EXT1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4493936
What is rs4493936?
rs4493936 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EXT1 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs4493936 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Colorectal Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4493936 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 rs4493936 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2024, PMID:38872215. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
