What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Uterine leiomyoma or ER positive breast cancer (pleiotropy). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Uterine leiomyoma or ER positive breast cancer (pleiotropy). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Uterine leiomyoma or ER positive breast cancer (pleiotropy). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs851982

What is rs851982?

rs851982 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ESR1 gene. Published research associates it with uterine leiomyoma or er positive breast cancer (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs851982 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 rs851982 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 rs851982 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2022, PMID:35803233. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
