Cancer antigen 125 levels

MSI2 · rs66784924

What the study found

Who was studied 3,259 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 21 U/mL lower; p = 4 × 10−20.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — in an intron of MSI2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cancer antigen 125 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cancer antigen 125 levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cancer antigen 125 levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs66784924

What is rs66784924?

rs66784924 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSI2 gene. Published research associates it with cancer antigen 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 rs66784924 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 rs66784924 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2022, PMID:35121771. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
