What the study found

Who was studied 453 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 103,757 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 2,251 European ancestry cases, 412,592 European ancestry controls, 314 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 53,258 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.35 lower (95% confidence interval 2.3-2.39); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.1 — inside PCDH15.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cancer of other male genital organs (PheCode 187). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cancer of other male genital organs (PheCode 187). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cancer of other male genital organs (PheCode 187). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs569391174

What is rs569391174?

rs569391174 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCDH15 gene. Published research associates it with cancer of other male genital organs (phecode 187). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs569391174 linked to?

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

Does having rs569391174 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 rs569391174 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
