A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Prostate cancer — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/CPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Prostate cancer.
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Prostate cancer compared to the general population.

Questions about rs6983561
What is rs6983561?
rs6983561 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near POU5F1B 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 rs6983561 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.
What do people read about alongside rs6983561?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include alcohol and the flush (1 papers), heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs6983561 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 rs6983561 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2012, PMID:22923026. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
