Who was studied 11,599 European ancestry cases, 199,628 European ancestry controls, 5,672 East Asian ancestry cases, 84,660 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.108 lower (95% confidence interval 0.084-0.132); p = 1 × 10−18.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — in an intron of CASC17.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs6501436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASC17 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 rs6501436 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 rs6501436 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 rs6501436 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
