What the study found

Who was studied 5,313 East Asian ancestry cases, 96,912 East Asian ancestry controls, 25,890 European ancestry cases, 743,585 European ancestry controls, 897 African American cases, 3,109 African American controls, 1,612 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 2,180 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.87 times the odds of Renal cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 0.85-0.88); p = 7 × 10−46.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.3 — between genes, 2.9 kb from LINC02956.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Renal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Renal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Renal cell carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4980785

What is rs4980785?

rs4980785 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02956 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 rs4980785 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 rs4980785 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 rs4980785 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42000752. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
