What the study found

Who was studied 21,731 East Asian ancestry cases, 47,444 East Asian ancestry controls, 78,473 European ancestry cases, 107,143 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0553 lower (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.068); p = 1 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.3 — in an intron of CDKN2B-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7859362

What is rs7859362?

rs7859362 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDKN2B-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal 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 rs7859362 linked to?

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

Does having rs7859362 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 rs7859362 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36539618. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
