Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

MNS1 · rs72742684

Where this position leads

Condition: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

What the study found

Who was studied 3,100 European ancestry cases, 7,667 European ancestry controls; replicated in 1,958 cases, 5,530 controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.43 times the odds of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (95% confidence interval 1.30-1.58); p = 2 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.3 — between genes, 23.4 kb from MNS1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs72742684

What is rs72742684?

rs72742684 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MNS1 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 rs72742684 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 rs72742684 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 rs72742684 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2016, PMID:26956414. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
