What the study found

Who was studied 730 cases, 1,435 controls; replicated in 571 cases, 1,806 controls.

The effect The catalogue records no effect size; p = 3 × 10−30.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q21.32 — in the 3′ untranslated region of KITLG.

What each result means

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