Rs710521

rs710521 is a SNP located in chromosome region 3q38, near the TP63 gene.

A study ultimately totaling over 4,000 bladder cancer patients of European ancestry (and 40,000 controls) concluded that individuals carrying two copies of rs710521(A) were at 1.4x increased risk (allele-specific odds ratio = 1.19, p = 1 x 10e-7) for the disease.

An additional 1,425 bladder cancer patients, supplemented by a meta-analysis of 5,695 additional cases (and 40,000+ controls), did replicate a (somewhat) increased risk associated with the rs710521(A) allele. The overall odds ratio was 1.18 (OR: 1.12 - 1.25, p < 0.0001).

Another study in Chinese populations did not find an increased risk of bladder cancer for this SNP.
