Condition: Colorectal Cancer
What the study found
Who was studied 3,334 European ancestry cases, 4,628 European ancestry controls; replicated in 14,851 European ancestry cases, 15,569 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.08 times the odds of Colorectal cancer (95% confidence interval 1.05-1.10); p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — in an intron of LOC124904946.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
What people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs4925386 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LAMA5 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.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Colorectal Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include alcohol and the flush (1 papers), longevity and ageing (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
