Cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein levels

CLUAP1 · rs17794023

What the study found

Who was studied 59 European ancestry individuals with normal cognition, 101 European ancestry individuals with mild cognitive impairment, 49 European ancestry Alzheimer's disease cases.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.319 higher (95% confidence interval -); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CLUAP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17794023

What is rs17794023?

rs17794023 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CLUAP1 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid α-synuclein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17794023 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 rs17794023 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Neurotox Res 2018, PMID:29959729. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
