Rs2072590

rs2072590 is a SNP on chromosome 2q31, in a noncoding region ~5 kb distal to the HOXD3 gene and ~10 kb proximal to HOXD1.

A genome-wide association study ultimately including over 10,000 ovarian cancer patients found statistically strong (p = 3.8 &#215; 10e?14) evidence for slightly elevated risk associated with the rs2072590(T) allele, with an odds ratio of 	1.20 (CI: 1.14&#8211;1.25) as calculated for the serous subtype (of ovarian cancer), though it was significant for the other subtypes as well.
