A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Distal/Left-sided colorectal cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Gut 2021, PMID:33632709)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Distal/Left-sided colorectal cancer. (GWAS Catalog, Gut 2021, PMID:33632709)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Distal/Left-sided colorectal cancer compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Gut 2021, PMID:33632709)

Questions about rs62131228
What is rs62131228?
rs62131228 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STK11 gene. Published research associates it with distal/left-sided 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 rs62131228 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 rs62131228 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 rs62131228 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Gut 2021, PMID:33632709. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
