What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Alzheimer's disease or family history of Alzheimer's disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Alzheimer's disease or family history of Alzheimer's disease.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Alzheimer's disease or family history of Alzheimer's disease compared to the general population.

Questions about rs112405270

What is rs112405270?

rs112405270 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EXOC3L2 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease or family history of alzheimer's disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs112405270 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alzheimer's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs112405270 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 rs112405270 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025, PMID:39998322. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
