What the study found

Who was studied 55,105 European ancestry cases, 3,026 East Asian ancestry cases, 65,079 European ancestry controls, 2,268 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.08); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.1 — inside CDH3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9924886

What is rs9924886?

rs9924886 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDH1 gene. Published research associates it with colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs9924886 linked to?

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

Does having rs9924886 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 rs9924886 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30510241. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
