What the study found

Who was studied 42,997 European ancestry cases, 368,045 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0611 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.078); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.33 — in an intron of KDSR.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Cancer of prostate (PheCode 185). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cancer of prostate (PheCode 185). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cancer of prostate (PheCode 185). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7408040

What is rs7408040?

rs7408040 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KDSR gene. Published research associates it with cancer of prostate (phecode 185). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7408040 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 rs7408040 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 rs7408040 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
