The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q15.3 — in an intron of FRMD5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs533143

What is rs533143?

rs533143 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FRMD5 gene. Published research associates it with cancer (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs533143 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 rs533143 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the National Cancer Institute 2023, PMID:36929942. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
