Consistent with earlier reports showing a higher risk of PC for individuals with the non-O blood type, the previously reported protective allele (T) for rs505922 was found to be strongly correlated (r(2) = 0.96) with the O allele.
We identified an association between a locus on 9q34 and pancreatic cancer marked by the SNP rs505922 (combined P = 5.37 x 10(-8); multiplicative per-allele odds ratio 1.20; 95% confidence interval 1.12-1.28).
