Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 752,817 European ancestry individuals, 3,526 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 3,457 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.91 times the odds of Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (95% confidence interval 0.88-0.93); p = 3 × 10⁻¹².

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — in an intron of GMDS.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Clear cell renal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Clear cell renal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Clear cell renal cell carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6916760

What is rs6916760?

rs6916760 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GMDS gene. Published research associates it with clear cell renal cell 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 rs6916760 linked to?

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

Does having rs6916760 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 rs6916760 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38671320. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
