What the study found

Who was studied 23,572 East Asian ancestry cases, 48,700 East Asian ancestry controls; replicated in 58,131 European ancestry cases, 67,347 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.12 times the odds of Colorectal cancer (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.14); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.3 — between genes, 13.4 kb from LINC01713.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6085662

What is rs6085662?

rs6085662 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01713 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs6085662 linked to?

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

Does having rs6085662 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 rs6085662 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology 2020, PMID:31826910. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
