Stands on its own.

research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of B-cell malignancies (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma) (pleiotropy) compared to the general population.
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with B-cell malignancies (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma) (pleiotropy).
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of B-cell malignancies (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma) (pleiotropy) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs12638862
What is rs12638862?
rs12638862 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TERC gene. Published research associates it with b-cell malignancies (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma) (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs12638862 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 rs12638862 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2017, PMID:28112199. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
