Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3)

near SLC2A6 · rs587678021

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 266 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,540 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 864 European ancestry cases, 450,063 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 3.04 lower (95% confidence interval 3.02-3.07); p = 3 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.2 — between genes, 16.8 kb from SLC2A6.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3). 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 Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cancer of major salivary glands (PheCode 145.3). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs587678021

What is rs587678021?

rs587678021 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SLC2A6 gene. Published research associates it with cancer of major salivary glands (phecode 145.3). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs587678021 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 rs587678021 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.
