Percent mammographic density

near CCDC170 · rs9397436

What the study found

Who was studied 27,900 European ancestry females.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 2.81 z score higher; p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.1 — between genes, 9.7 kb from CCDC170.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9397436

What is rs9397436?

rs9397436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CCDC170 gene. Published research associates it with percent mammographic density. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9397436 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 rs9397436 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Breast cancer research : BCR 2022, PMID:35414113. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
