Who was studied 3,963 Sub-Saharan African ancestry cases, 3,509 Sub-Saharan African ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.251 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.32); p = 5 × 10−14.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.21 — in an intron of PCAT1.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs6983515 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PCAT1 gene. Published research associates it with prostate cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6983515 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Prostate Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6983515 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 rs6983515 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39358599. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
