Who was studied 8,305 East Asian ancestry cases, 159,386 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.16 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.19); p = 1 × 10−19.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — in an intron of PCAT1.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs4871788 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCAT1 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 rs4871788 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 rs4871788 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 rs4871788 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
