Serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels

GAL3ST2 · rs62193080

What the study found

Who was studied 9,824 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.32 lower (95% confidence interval 0.36-0.28); p = 3 × 10−57.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.3 — in an intron of GAL3ST2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs62193080

What is rs62193080?

rs62193080 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GAL3ST2 gene. Published research associates it with serum cancer antigen 125 (ca 125) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62193080 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 rs62193080 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:31666285. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
