What the study found

Who was studied 1,844 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 80,709 Taiwanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.34 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.25-1.43); p = 4 × 10−18.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.22 — between genes, 6.7 kb from MSMB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4512771

What is rs4512771?

rs4512771 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MSMB gene. Published research associates it with prostate 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 rs4512771 linked to?

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

Does having rs4512771 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 rs4512771 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular carcinogenesis 2024, PMID:38390760. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
