Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 133,384 European ancestry female cases, 113,789 European ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Breast cancer (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.05); p = 2 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in an intron of CASC15.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Breast 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 Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.

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

Questions about rs7760611

What is rs7760611?

rs7760611 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASC15 gene. Published research associates it with breast 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 rs7760611 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Breast Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7760611 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 rs7760611 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2020, PMID:32424353. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
