What the study found

Who was studied 76,192 European ancestry cases, 63,082 European ancestry controls; replicated in 46,785 European ancestry cases, 42,892 European ancestry controls, 14,068 East Asian ancestry cases, 13,104 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.2 — in an intron of CNTNAP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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.

Questions about rs72826962

What is rs72826962?

rs72826962 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CNTNAP1 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 rs72826962 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 rs72826962 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 rs72826962 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2017, PMID:29059683. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
