ACTA · rs6586163

Where this position leads

Condition: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

What each result means

A/A 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.

A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6586163

What is rs6586163?

rs6586163 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACTA 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 rs6586163 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 rs6586163 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 rs6586163 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.
