Alzheimer disease in high polygenic risk score (>65th percentile)

PAN3 · rs17086376

What the study found

Who was studied 3,180 European ancestry cases, 978 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.21 times the odds of Alzheimer disease in high polygenic risk score (>65th percentile) (95% confidence interval 0.122111478957053-0.365709498168588); p = 3 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q12.2 — in an intron of PAN3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer disease in high polygenic risk score (>65th percentile). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer disease in high polygenic risk score (>65th percentile). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer disease in high polygenic risk score (>65th percentile). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs17086376

What is rs17086376?

rs17086376 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAN3 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer disease in high polygenic risk score (>65th percentile). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17086376 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 rs17086376 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2026, PMID:42557982. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
