Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 24,206 East Asian ancestry cases, 24,775 East Asian ancestry controls, 122,977 European ancestry cases, 105,974 European ancestry controls; replicated in 10,829 East Asian ancestry cases, 10,996 East Asian ancestry controls, 5,958 Asian ancestry cases, 5,684 Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.93 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 0.92-0.95); p = 1 × 10⁻¹².

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — in an intron of CUX1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. 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 Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs71559437

What is rs71559437?

rs71559437 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CUX1 gene. Published research associates it with breast 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 rs71559437 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Breast Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs71559437 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 rs71559437 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32139696. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
