Chronic lymphocytic leukemia

BCL2 · rs77551289

Where this position leads

Condition: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

What the study found

Who was studied 4,478 European ancestry cases and 13,213 European ancestry controls.; replicated in 1,722 European ancestry cases and 4,385 European ancestry controls..

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.37 times the odds of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (95% confidence interval 1.25-1.5); p = 2 × 10⁻¹¹.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.33 — between genes, 1.8 kb from BCL2.

What each result means

A/A 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.

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

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

Questions about rs77551289

What is rs77551289?

rs77551289 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCL2 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 rs77551289 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 rs77551289 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 rs77551289 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.
