Who was studied 961 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 3,792 Taiwanese ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele carried 2.28 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.77-2.94); p = 3 × 10−10.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.31 — a synonymous change in RPL22.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo 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 rs4908865
What is rs4908865?
rs4908865 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RPL22 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 rs4908865 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 rs4908865 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 rs4908865 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cancer medicine 2026, PMID:42415294. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
