Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is most often detected in young men and is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 34

Please select a gender or population for your results.

This disease has different risk results depending on population or gender. Below you can select the ones you belong to.

Ethnicity:  European ancestry

Gender:    Male


Tgct
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 1.05. This corresponds to a 0.5% lifetime risk of developing testicular cancer, which is 5% greater than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 5 of every 1000 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
Tgct
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 5 of every 1000 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
