What the study found

Who was studied 1,844 Taiwanese ancestry cases, 80,709 Taiwanese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.37 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.24-1.52); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p11.2 — between genes, 15 kb from LINC00506.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs77764698

What is rs77764698?

rs77764698 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near 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 rs77764698 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 rs77764698 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 rs77764698 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular carcinogenesis 2024, PMID:38390760. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
