Squamous cell lung carcinoma

CLPTM1L · rs465498

What the study found

Who was studied 8,350 Chinese or European ancestry cases, 27,355 Chinese or European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.21 times the odds of Squamous cell lung carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.16-1.26); p = 6 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.33 — in an intron of CLPTM1L.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Squamous cell lung carcinoma compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Squamous cell lung carcinoma.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Squamous cell lung carcinoma — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs465498

What is rs465498?

rs465498 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CLPTM1L gene. Published research associates it with squamous cell lung carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs465498 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 rs465498 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers of medicine 2021, PMID:32889700. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
