What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28165464)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28165464)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28165464)

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.

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.
