Who was studied 961 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 3,792 Taiwanese ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 364.80 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 109.41-1216.31); p = 8 × 10−22.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq22.3 — between genes, 14.4 kb from CSGALNACT2P2.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs55916943
What is rs55916943?
rs55916943 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CSGALNACT2P2 gene. Published research associates it with prostate 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 rs55916943 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Prostate Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs55916943 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 rs55916943 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cancer medicine 2026, PMID:42415294. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
