Lymphocytic leukemia

IRF4 · rs2316515

What the study found

Who was studied 852 European ancestry cases, 410,350 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of IRF4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lymphocytic leukemia. 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 Lymphocytic leukemia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lymphocytic leukemia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2316515

What is rs2316515?

rs2316515 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IRF4 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs2316515 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 rs2316515 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32887889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
