Alzheimer's disease in APOE e33 genotype

NPAS3 · rs187023552

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 24,033 European ancestry cases, 363,161 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.42 times the odds of Alzheimer's disease in APOE e33 genotype (95% confidence interval 1.26-1.61); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q13.1 — in an intron of NPAS3.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease in APOE e33 genotype. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease in APOE e33 genotype. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Alzheimer's disease in APOE e33 genotype. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs187023552

What is rs187023552?

rs187023552 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NPAS3 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease in apoe e33 genotype. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs187023552 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alzheimer's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs187023552 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 rs187023552 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:42736378. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
