B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

LHPP · rs12779301

What the study found

Who was studied 5,321 European ancestry cases, 16,666 European ancestry controls; replicated in 2,237 cases, 3,461 controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.22 times the odds of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (95% confidence interval 1.15-1.29); p = 6 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 66% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.13 — in an intron of LHPP.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. 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 B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12779301

What is rs12779301?

rs12779301 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LHPP gene. Published research associates it with b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12779301 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 rs12779301 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31767839. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
