Where this position leads
Condition: Squamous Cell Lung Carcinoma
What the study found
Who was studied 8,901 European ancestry cases, 64,477 European ancestry controls; replicated in 4,162 European ancestry cases, 13,599 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.30 times the odds of Squamous cell lung carcinoma (95% confidence interval 1.246-1.368); p = 5 × 10−29.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 3.5 kb from HCP5.
rs9267123 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HCP5 gene. Published research associates it with squamous cell lung carcinoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Squamous Cell Lung Carcinoma. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
