What the study found

Who was studied 79,148 European ancestry cases, 61,106 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.1 — in an intron of RAD51B-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7141529

What is rs7141529?

rs7141529 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAD51B 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 rs7141529 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 rs7141529 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 rs7141529 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29892016. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
