Who was studied 961 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 3,792 Taiwanese ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele carried 2.66 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 2.04-3.45); p = 2 × 10−13.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p15.1 — inside AKR1C3.
What each result means
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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.

Questions about rs61856137
What is rs61856137?
rs61856137 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AKR1C3 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 rs61856137 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 rs61856137 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 rs61856137 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.
