What the study found

Who was studied 133,384 European ancestry breast cancer cases, 113,789 European ancestry controls, 449,734 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 7 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p35.1 — between genes, 3 kb from PHC2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55860530

What is rs55860530?

rs55860530 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PHC2 gene. Published research associates it with chronotype and breast 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 rs55860530 linked to?

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

Does having rs55860530 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 rs55860530 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of sleep research 2024, PMID:37380357. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
