What the study found

Who was studied 122,188 European ancestry cases, 604,640 European ancestry controls, 19,391 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 61,608 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 10,809 East Asian ancestry cases, 95,790 East Asian ancestry controls, 3,931 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 26,405 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.13); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p13 — between genes, 17 kb from EHF.

What each result means

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