What the study found

Who was studied 2,566 European ancestry cases, 40,941 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.43 times the odds of Mucinous ovarian carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.32592116400102-1.5333648423891); p = 1 × 10−22.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — between genes, 1.3 kb from IFNL3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mucinous ovarian carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Mucinous ovarian carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mucinous ovarian carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs688187

What is rs688187?

rs688187 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IFNL3 gene. Published research associates it with mucinous ovarian carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs688187 linked to?

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

Does having rs688187 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 rs688187 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28346442. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
