What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Alzheimer disease and age of onset — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Mol Psychiatry 2016, PMID:26830138)

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Alzheimer disease and age of onset. (GWAS Catalog, Mol Psychiatry 2016, PMID:26830138)

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Alzheimer disease and age of onset compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Mol Psychiatry 2016, PMID:26830138)

Questions about rs139675748

What is rs139675748?

rs139675748 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HSD17B12 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.

Does having rs139675748 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 rs139675748 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.
