Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 18,299 European ancestry cases, 19,656 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,725 East Asian ancestry cases, 9,969 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.16 times the odds of Colorectal cancer (95% confidence interval 1.11–1.23); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.22 — in an intron of NOS1.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

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

Questions about rs73208120

What is rs73208120?

rs73208120 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NOS1 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs73208120 linked to?

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

Does having rs73208120 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 rs73208120 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26151821. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
