Who was studied 10,792 European ancestry male cases, 190,694 European ancestry male controls.
The effect
The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 5 × 10−25.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — in an intron of CASC17.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. 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 Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7217073
What is rs7217073?
rs7217073 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASC17 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 rs7217073 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 rs7217073 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 rs7217073 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32887889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
