Questions about rs75783973

What is rs75783973?

rs75783973 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TPPP gene. Published research associates it with esophageal adenocarcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs75783973 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 rs75783973 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Lancet Oncol 2016, PMID:27527254. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
