What the study found

Who was studied 615 African ancestry cases, 2,560 African ancestry controls, 767 Admixed-American ancestry cases, 14,907 Admixed-American ancestry controls, 3,097 European ancestry cases, 2,077 European ancestry controls, 146 East or South Asian cases, 1,285 East or South Asian controls, 8 Middle-Eastern ancestry cases, 40 Middle-Eastern ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 5.30 times the odds of Family history of Alzheimer's disease (95% confidence interval 3.51-8.0); p = 2 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q11 — between genes, 28.4 kb from TRIM48.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Family history of Alzheimer's disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Family history of Alzheimer's disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Family history of Alzheimer's disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2120001636

What is rs2120001636?

rs2120001636 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TRIM48 gene. Published research associates it with family history of 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 conditions is rs2120001636 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 rs2120001636 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 rs2120001636 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2026, PMID:41755704. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
