What the study found

Who was studied 1,582 European ancestry cases, 5,203 European ancestry controls; replicated in 6,101 European ancestry cases, 9,194 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.15 times the odds of Pancreatic cancer (95% confidence interval 1.10–1.20); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q12.2 — between genes, 0.1 kb from PDX1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-06-14. ClinVar record 669733 NM_000209.3(PDX1):c.-279G>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9581943

What is rs9581943?

rs9581943 is a single position in the genome, in or near the URAD gene. Published research associates it with pancreatic 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 rs9581943 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Pancreatic Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs9581943?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs9581943 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 rs9581943 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2014, PMID:25086665. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
