FAM114A1 · rs55718051

Where this position leads

Condition: HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis B infection — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis B infection.

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis B infection compared to the general population.

Questions about rs55718051

What is rs55718051?

rs55718051 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM114A1 gene. Published research associates it with hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis b infection. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs55718051 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs55718051 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 rs55718051 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of genetics and genomics = Yi chuan xue bao 2026, PMID:41241147. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
