A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Colorectal cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Gastroenterology 2016, PMID:26965516)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Colorectal cancer. (GWAS Catalog, Gastroenterology 2016, PMID:26965516)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Colorectal cancer compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Gastroenterology 2016, PMID:26965516)
rs4919687 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CYP17A1 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 rs4919687 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 rs4919687 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 rs4919687 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Gastroenterology 2016, PMID:26965516. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
