Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

CLL is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the production of abnormal lymphocyte cells.

Cll
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 0.84. This corresponds to a 0.4% lifetime risk of developing chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which is 16% less than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 42 of every 10000 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
Cll
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 50 of every 10000 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
