Who was studied 20,791 European ancestry cases, 286,893 European ancestry controls; replicated in 251,963 European ancestry cases, 2,271,667 European ancestry controls.
The effect
The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 1 × 10−137.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q22.2 — in an intron of RGS22.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6989943
What is rs6989943?
rs6989943 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RGS22 gene. Published research associates it with basal cell carcinoma (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6989943 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Basal Cell Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs6989943 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 rs6989943 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36496446. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
