What the study found

Who was studied 626 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 9,842 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q22.1 — in an intron of CNTN5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Basal cell carcinoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs74603527

What is rs74603527?

rs74603527 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CNTN5 gene. Published research associates it with basal cell carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs74603527 linked to?

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

Does having rs74603527 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 rs74603527 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2024, PMID:38182794. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
