Who was studied 25,928 European ancestry cases, 466,275 European ancestry controls, 154 East Asian ancestry cases, 178,572 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 73 higher (95% confidence interval 46.87-99.23); p = 5 × 10−8.
Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.4 — in an intron of SHANK2.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Skin cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs553341619 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SHANK2 gene. Published research associates it with skin 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 rs553341619 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Sun Sensitivity, Freckling and Skin Cancer Risk. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs553341619 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 rs553341619 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
