Where this position leads

Condition: Endometrial Cancer

rs6782972 Condition: Endometrial Cancer Endometrial Cancer Condition rs6782972 rs6782972 RARB

What the study found

Who was studied 3,194 endometriosis cases, 5,330 non-endometriosis controls, 2,057 endometrial cancer cases, 3,866 non-endometrial cancer controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.20 times the odds of Endometriosis or endometrial cancer (pleiotropy) (95% confidence interval 1.15-1.26); p = 3 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p24.2 — in an intron of RARB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6782972

What is rs6782972?

rs6782972 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RARB gene. Published research associates it with endometriosis or endometrial cancer (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6782972 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Endometrial Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6782972 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 rs6782972 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer Med 2018, PMID:29608257. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
