What the study found

Who was studied 5,764 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 42,247 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 28,645 European ancestry cases, 264,556 European ancestry controls, 1,678 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 24,750 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.196 lower (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.22); p = 1 × 10−30.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p11.2 — in an intron of LINC00506.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs77171792

What is rs77171792?

rs77171792 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC00506 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 rs77171792 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 rs77171792 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 rs77171792 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
