Who was studied 10,784 European ancestry cases, 20,406 European ancestry controls; replicated in 3,182 European ancestry cases, 6,301 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele carried 1.21 times the odds of Renal cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.16–1.25); p = 2 × 10−24.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.2 — in an intron of DPF3.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Renal cell carcinoma compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Renal cell carcinoma.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Renal cell carcinoma — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4903064
What is rs4903064?
rs4903064 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DPF3 gene. Published research associates it with renal 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 rs4903064 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Renal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs4903064 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 rs4903064 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28598434. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
