Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 85,554 European ancestry cases, 10,368 African ancestry cases, 8,611 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,714 Hispanic cases, 91,972 European ancestry controls, 10,986 African ancestry controls, 18,809 East Asian ancestry controls, 5,239 Hispanic controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.07); p = 8 × 10⁻¹⁰.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.31 — in an intron of ZWILCH.

What each result means

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

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

G/G Two 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.

Questions about rs74634457

What is rs74634457?

rs74634457 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZWILCH 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 rs74634457 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 rs74634457 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 rs74634457 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33398198. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
