Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

POT1 · rs2267708

Where this position leads

Condition: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

What the study found

Who was studied 4,478 European ancestry cases and 13,213 European ancestry controls.; replicated in 1,722 European ancestry cases and 4,385 European ancestry controls..

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.16 times the odds of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (95% confidence interval 1.1-1.22); p = 9 × 10⁻⁹.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.33 — in an intron of GPR37.

What each result means

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

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

T/T 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 rs2267708

What is rs2267708?

rs2267708 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POT1 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 rs2267708 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 rs2267708 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 rs2267708 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28165464. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
