Cisplatin-induced hearing loss in childhood cancer

TCERG1L · rs893507

What the study found

Who was studied 168 European ancestry, African American or Afro-Caribbean, Hispanic or Latin American child cases, 222 European, African American or Afro-Caribbean, Hispanic or Latin American ancestry child controls; replicated in 209 child cases, 171 child controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 3.11 times the odds of Cisplatin-induced hearing loss in childhood cancer (95% confidence interval 2.2-4.5); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.3 — in an intron of TCERG1L.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cisplatin-induced hearing loss in childhood 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 Cisplatin-induced hearing loss in childhood cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cisplatin-induced hearing loss in childhood cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs893507

What is rs893507?

rs893507 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCERG1L gene. Published research associates it with cisplatin-induced hearing loss in childhood cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs893507 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 rs893507 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NPJ precision oncology 2021, PMID:34262104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
