Chromosome : 17 , Position: 7676154
Most conditions are affected by anywhere from hundreds to millions of genetic variants (SNPs). A single SNP usually has a minor contribution to a person’s overall genetic risk for a certain condition. That is why you shouldn't consider or act on a SNP in isolation. Instead, we use SNPs to determine polygenic risk scores (PRSs), which are the basis of most health reports.

Summary

This SNP, a variant in the TP53 gene, is 1 of 25 SNPs reported to represent independently minor, but cumulatively significant, increased risk for breast cancer. [SLE in a study of Caucasians, African-Americans, and Asian children and adults.[type-2 diabetes based on a study of 1,161 Finnish patients.[PMID 18678618]

  • [PMID 19193430] rs2279744, rs1042522, rs17878362 and rs1625895 associated with high grade endometrial cancer

23andMe blog African Americans with rs1042522(G;G) in the p53 gene were 2.15 times more likely to die of colorectal cancer than those with one or no copies of a G at this SNP. In Caucasians there was no association between survival and rs1042522.

23andMe blog rs1042522(C) might have had an easier time conceiving in colder temperatures

10.1073/pnas.0904280106 The P72 allele was found to be significantly enriched over the R72 allele among in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients. The P72 allele serves as a risk factor for implantation failure. LIF levels are significantly lower in cells with the P72 allele than in cells with the R72 allele, which may contribute to the decreased implantation and fertility associated with the P72 allele.

[PMID 19367277] Patients with variant TP53 genotypes either for the Arg72Pro or the PIN3 polymorphism were at increased risk of telangiectasia, a late skin side effect of radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery. Odds ratios were 1.66 for 72Pro carriers and 1.95 for PIN3 A2 allele carriers. Carrying both variant alleles led to a doubling of risk.
