LINGO2 and essential thrombocythemia: A study in North Americans described an association of 5 tagging SNPs within, or close to, the LINGO1 and LINGO2 (MIM 609793, Gene ID 158038) genes (rs4886887, rs3144, rs8028808, rs12905478, and rs1412229) with the risk of developing ET [63,65], and another study involving Asian populations found an association of the LINGO2 rs7033345CC genotype and the LINGO2 rs10812774C allele with the risk for ET under a recessive model [77].
