Testicular Cancer

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 0.52% 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.

The average lifetime risk
On average, about 5 of every 1000 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
