Cancer (additive model)

near RCC2 · rs6675912

What the study found

Who was studied 17,131 European ancestry cases, 39,506 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.13 — between genes, 3 kb from RCC2.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cancer (additive model). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cancer (additive model). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cancer (additive model). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6675912

What is rs6675912?

rs6675912 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RCC2 gene. Published research associates it with cancer (additive model). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6675912 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 rs6675912 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33893285. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
