Standard

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (childhood)

IKZF1 · rs4132601

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−19, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 419 European ancestry ETV6-RUNX1 positive cases, 474 European ancestry controls; replicated in 951 European ancestry ETV6-RUNX1 positive cases, 326 European ancestry ETV6-RUNX1 negative cases, 3,061 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.43 times the odds of Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (childhood) (95% confidence interval 1.30 - 1.58); p = 8 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p12.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of IKZF1.

What ClinVar records

Classification association for Leukemia, acute lymphocytic, susceptibility to, 2; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter). ClinVar record 694328 NM_006060.6(IKZF1):c.*2279T>G

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-11-01 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

The share of all copies of this position that are each version. Source: the population studies published in dbSNP (US NCBI); each row names its study. The ancestry rows are gnomAD's own groups (via Ensembl), as the survey defines them, not races.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (childhood). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (childhood). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (childhood). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
