Cerebrospinal fluid soluble TREM2 levels

near UNC5CL · rs12664332

What the study found

Who was studied 3,350 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.39 lower (95% confidence interval 1.09-1.68); p = 2 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.1 — between genes, 90.6 kb from UNC5CL.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid soluble TREM2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid soluble TREM2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid soluble TREM2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12664332

What is rs12664332?

rs12664332 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near UNC5CL gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid soluble trem2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12664332 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 rs12664332 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Molecular neurodegeneration 2024, PMID:38172904. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
