What the study found

Who was studied 4,444 East Asian ancestry cases, 174,282 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.15 higher (95% confidence interval 0.099-0.2); p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — between genes, 2.1 kb from MICC.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Lung cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Lung cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs78860372

What is rs78860372?

rs78860372 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MICC gene. Published research associates it with lung 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 rs78860372 linked to?

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

Does having rs78860372 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 rs78860372 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
