What the study found

Who was studied 49,905 European ancestry cases, 752,392 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0943 higher (95% confidence interval 0.066-0.123); p = 8 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q24.3 — in an intron of CHMP1A.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Basal cell 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 Basal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs71396949

What is rs71396949?

rs71396949 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHMP1A gene. Published research associates it with basal 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 rs71396949 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 rs71396949 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 rs71396949 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2024, PMID:38182794. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
