What the study found

Who was studied (see Lambert 2013 and Okbay 2016).

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 40.1 z score higher; p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q11.2 — at a splice region of CHST10.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2241809

What is rs2241809?

rs2241809 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHST10 gene. Published research associates it with alzheimer's disease or educational attainment (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2241809 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 rs2241809 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 rs2241809 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GeroScience 2022, PMID:34743297. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
