Who was studied 6,581 European ancestry cases, 463,421 European ancestry controls, 8,305 East Asian ancestry cases, 159,386 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.127 higher (95% confidence interval 0.088-0.167); p = 3 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — in an intron of COL4A2.
What each result means
G/GTwo 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.
G/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Colorectal cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs8001158 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL4A2 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 rs8001158 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 rs8001158 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 rs8001158 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.
