What the study found

Who was studied 122,188 European ancestry cases, 604,640 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.06); p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 56% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in an intron of PPL.

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 rs760118

What is rs760118?

rs760118 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPL 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 rs760118 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 rs760118 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 rs760118 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37945903. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
