Who was studied 2,478 European ancestry cases, 979 ancestry controls both from the same 1,070 families.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 6.05 higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 1 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.3 — in an intron of TMC5.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer disease and age of onset. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer disease and age of onset. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer disease and age of onset. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs118099348
What is rs118099348?
rs118099348 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMC5 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 rs118099348 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 rs118099348 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 rs118099348 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.
