What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Hodgkin's lymphoma compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:29196614)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Hodgkin's lymphoma. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:29196614)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Hodgkin's lymphoma — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:29196614)

Questions about rs9482849

What is rs9482849?

rs9482849 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTPRK gene. Published research associates it with hodgkin's lymphoma. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9482849 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 rs9482849 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:29196614. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
