B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

near IKZF1 · rs17133807

What the study found

Who was studied 840 African American child cases, 3,360 African American child controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.62 times the odds of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (95% confidence interval 1.49-1.74); p = 3 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p12.2 — between genes, 4.9 kb from IKZF1.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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 rs17133807

What is rs17133807?

rs17133807 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near IKZF1 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 rs17133807 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 rs17133807 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41125582. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
