What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Late-onset Alzheimer's disease compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Alzheimers Dement 2016, PMID:27770636)
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Late-onset Alzheimer's disease. (GWAS Catalog, Alzheimers Dement 2016, PMID:27770636)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Late-onset Alzheimer's disease — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Alzheimers Dement 2016, PMID:27770636)

Questions about rs16961023

What is rs16961023?

rs16961023 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC10A2 gene. Published research associates it with late-onset 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 do people read about alongside rs16961023?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include learning and focus (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs16961023 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 rs16961023 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimers Dement 2016, PMID:27770636. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
