Questions about rs115809613

What is rs115809613?

rs115809613 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near METAP1 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer disease and age of onset. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs115809613 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 rs115809613 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 rs115809613 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Mol Psychiatry 2016, PMID:26830138. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
