Questions about rs4245595

What is rs4245595?

rs4245595 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARID5B 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 rs4245595 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 rs4245595 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2014, PMID:25310577. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
