What the study found

Who was studied 7,257 European ancestry cases, 60,212 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p11.2 — between genes, 4.9 kb from RAPSN.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to BRCA1 mutation in breast cancer. 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 BRCA1 mutation in breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to BRCA1 mutation in breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs60882887

What is rs60882887?

rs60882887 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RAPSN gene. Published research associates it with brca1 mutation in 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 rs60882887 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 rs60882887 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 rs60882887 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33597508. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
