Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

ACOXL · rs17483466

Where this position leads

Condition: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

What the study found

Who was studied 2,179 European ancestry cases, 6,221 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,709 European ancestry cases, 6,318 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.37 times the odds of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia; p = 4 × 10⁻¹⁷.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q13 — in an intron of ACOXL.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17483466

What is rs17483466?

rs17483466 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACOXL gene. Published research associates it with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17483466 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs17483466 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 rs17483466 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23770605. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
