Waldenström macroglobulinemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma

near LINC02318 · rs117410836

What the study found

Who was studied 217 European ancestry cases, 3,798 European ancestry controls; replicated in 313 European ancestry cases, 564 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 4.90 times the odds of Waldenström macroglobulinemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (95% confidence interval 3.45-6.96); p = 9 × 10−19.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.13 — between genes, 3.3 kb from LINC02318.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Waldenström macroglobulinemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Waldenström macroglobulinemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Waldenström macroglobulinemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs117410836

What is rs117410836?

rs117410836 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02318 gene. Published research associates it with waldenström macroglobulinemia / lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117410836 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs117410836 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2018, PMID:30305637. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
