Questions about rs4132601

What is rs4132601?

rs4132601 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IKZF1 gene. Published research associates it with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (childhood). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4132601 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 rs4132601 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Leukemia 2011, PMID:22076464. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
