High-grade serous ovarian cancer

near FST · rs528577783

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 19,883 European ancestry females with ovarian cancer, 378,355 European ancestry females without ovarian cancer.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 5.15 times the odds of High-grade serous ovarian cancer (95% confidence interval 2.96-8.96); p = 7 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q11.2 — between genes, 24.7 kb from FST.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of High-grade serous ovarian cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with High-grade serous ovarian cancer.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of High-grade serous ovarian cancer compared to the general population.

Questions about rs528577783

What is rs528577783?

rs528577783 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FST gene. Published research associates it with high-grade serous ovarian 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 rs528577783 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Ovarian Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs528577783 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 rs528577783 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NPJ genomic medicine 2025, PMID:41266372. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
