What the study found

Who was studied 85,554 European ancestry cases, 10,368 African ancestry cases, 8,611 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,714 Hispanic cases, 91,972 European ancestry controls, 10,986 African ancestry controls, 18,809 East Asian ancestry controls, 5,239 Hispanic controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Prostate cancer (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.09); p = 5 × 10−21.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q23 — between genes, 8.1 kb from SALL3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Prostate 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 Prostate cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Prostate cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

What conditions is rs9959454 linked to?

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

Does having rs9959454 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 rs9959454 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33398198. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
